    I’ve mentioned this before about the construction of the ELDM tip in conjunction to the core. Because they’re a target bullet, the important “space” behind the tip in terms of terminal performance...

    Awesome, might be a bit too frangible for bush hunting ranges (under 100 yds ). Traditional wisdom says they excel at speeds 2600 fps or less. But plenty of comments on here with folks using them at...

    Superformance will get you more velocity than 2209. I was running 162 AMAX in 20 in bbl with Superformance at 2820 fps. RL17 gets you more & RL26 more again but hard to get hold of these days & very...

    I don't think there's really any such thing as optimal. It's down to your use case, what you want to get out of it, and what you can happily tolerate. Mine's 26"... Well, 25.5" thanks to a snafu...

    I run a 20” on my .284 along with a DPT suppressor and find it a practical length and nicely balanced. It’ll all come down to individual preference but if you find yours is nicely balanced with a...

    20" is ideal for an all rounder when suppressed. I have both a 17" that i use for bush and a 20". the 20 gets picked up most. reloader 26 is your friend for velocity. I get 2840 with a 162 eld....

    Snap. I’ve also got 22 & 18n bbl 284s. Running RL17 with 162 AMAX or ELDMS that gets me around 2960 and 2830 fps respectively. So more than enough to get to 600 & more. With the 18in bbl at 2830 fps...
