Use the right pill and you should be good to 400-500 yds. I’d be using 150 ELDx out of the ones you listed. 162 ELDMs would be better. Check your muzzle velocity & go from there. I tend to use...

As for a 16 inch 7mm08 I'd run the 150 eld x and I'd try get reloder 17 or Varget works well and you will likely get 2500-2700fps which should give you enough impact velocity to around 550yards but...

I think the biggest threat of CWD arriving is from Kiwis coming home, not "yanks" bringing it. Kiwis are bastards for ticking whatever box will get them through the airport ques fastest, and being...

They are amazing but certainly wouldn’t call them lightweight

This is not my :fighting: to enter into, but I do note, Craig has said, "the recovery and walk back in the rain was not enjoyable" So I take from that that he did not "shoot and scoot" :)

I loaded some 500 3" BPE I'm already on plan C for this roar and the way things are going anything could happen. So roll up some of these and then have options for plan D, E and F 246640 ...

Always regret not making an effort a few years ago to get a short 8x57R barrel ( or 308 ) for my K95 I should have sold my R93s earlier and would have got the use from a second K95 barrel.

I loaded some 30-30 with the 160 ftx and 32.5 gr of AR2208. 246518 I then tested them at 100yds aiming at the black square using a rolled up coat for a rest. Good group but left so corrected and...

I'll be there of course (just up the road and I technically work for Sparrowhawk too). This is a great time and is very worthwhile for any hunter. I've shot it with a 223 and finished in the top...

Haven't seen it concentrated like that before. Craig is using Hammer Hunters. I use them (HH) in 270wsm and .223 and the petal damage is more random but still nasty. The shank almost always passes...

Did you get the classic shank punching right through and a cluster of petal holes around the exit craigc? I shot a fallow hind last week with a 109 grain Absolute Hammer that had exactly that sort...
