The 73gr ELD-m go good in two tikka’s that I know of and another mate that want to give them a go when his Waterman mag turns up. Been running 24.5gr AR2208 seat out 2.511” OAL in mine with great...

Yes reamed out 2mm

Had my T3 barrel long throated just so I can run AR2208 and it shoots 73gr, 75gr, 80gr eld-m and Hornady 75gr hpbt easy sub MOA sometimes .25 MOA if I’ve got my act together. Tried 3 rounds of Sierra...

It was half broken and the tumble down the hill snapped it off, there was wire/string rapped around its neck too. It wouldn’t take much to get tangled up in trees.

Haven’t posted in a while. Typical steep Marlborough bluffs with a dead stag half way up, if I got closer the deer would be covered by tree’s because of the steepness.

Took a mate out before the mad weekend rush and to help train his dog and teach him a few tricks and skills hunting as he’s new to hunting. He’s happy to shot 250m maximum. So I setup and shot this...

Shot 3 reds with them past 300m but had quicker kills with the 73,75 and 80gr ELD-M from 300m to 400m in my 20" tikka.

What velocity and barrel length?

I'd be keen on a new thread for 80grainers once I get my rifle back from the G Smith.
80gr ballistics look pretty dam good compared to 55gr at distance. I used to shoot a lot of bunny's and deer...

Murfs Precision Rifles.
He's also got the contract to paint the Hardy rifle stocks.

Yeah still got the big canon and the 308 but the 223 is such a joy to use. And a lot cheaper to run other than flinging brass all over the place on goats. I've still shot more deer with a 223 than...

Yes Murph

No not tried 2206H but I have plenty of 2208 too run both 308 and 223 for a year or two. A local smith, seen a couple of his competition builds and a 7PRC pimped out hunting rig, they all shoot well.

Haven’t been out deer hunting in months because of a shoulder injury. Finally got out for a multi day hunt with the 223rem and the 14 month old pup. This hind was a tricky, farthest for the trip 384m...

Hi Tahr I've got a couple of questions.
Which Hammers are you using and in what grain weight? What's the minimum expanding velocity?

73gr ELD-m OAL 2.371” and using adi 2208, easy sub MOA, 1/4 MOA if I’ve got my shit together ( shooting fundamentals and prone position ) and not shooting off rocks boulders or walking sticks along...

Here’s a couple of yearling hinds dropped with 73gr ELD-m projectiles. Needed a Waterman magazine to run them in a Tikka T3.

378m bang flop double lung, still doing 1940fps and 600 f/lb at that...

Nice shooting and no meat damage.

Tahr did you long throat your chamber neck to run the 80 grainers? The ballistics look expressive for a 223.

What speed you getting with the 55gr
