    Dicko liked post by Tahr On thread : It's called a carbine, not a bush pig.
    It's part of the bull shit culture. Anyway, most so called "bush pigs" never go bush hunting their entire lives. It's a fad more than a necessity. No one called a Model 7 with a 18/20" barrel a...

    I shot off the last of my ammo for my M-28. It's a shitty Rifle but it shoots well enough. 10 rounds offhand 100m

    Most bullets will bounce off a deer at 999 foot pounds and will actually ricochet

    Dicko liked post by woods223 On thread : .223 projectile ponderings
    I use 73 ELDM in a Howa 1500 1:8 16” barrel. These are stable out to 600yd at NRA range and testing @ 600m on farm target. Loaded to 59mm oal. 75 ELDM were also stable at these range’s although not...

    Dicko liked post by John Duxbury On thread : 7mm08 loads and a short barrel
    Hi Dicko, the situation with the detachable mag model of the Rem 700 version, is that I am limited by the magazine length, which stops me from seating bullets out much at all, I am stuck at 2.800...

    Stability. Those 75's can be pretty borderline in 1:8's. Some rifles stabilise them but not all. I'd try a few before buying 500. On the box, Hornady say a 1:7.5 twist is needed.

    Dicko liked post by 25/08 IMP On thread : .223 projectile ponderings
    I load the 73eldm in my old superlite Tikka 1-8 with Waterman magazine, shoots them really well. It also shot the 69 and 77 tmk just as good. My little Sako loves the 77tmk. They all work well on...

    Dicko liked post by Calikiwi On thread : .223 projectile ponderings
    I have gotten excellent velocities and accuracy with 75grain eldm and 2206h in three different 1-8 twist t3's (one 18.5, one 20 inch barrel and one 22 inch). They were all very accurate out to 400 in...

    Dicko liked post by Beetroot On thread : .223 projectile ponderings
    My 1:8 Tikka didn't seem to like the 75 ELDMs, it seems like some Tikkas like them and others don't. The 73s shoot very well, as do the 75gr BTHPS. Bullets stability requirements are dependent...

    The 7prc, 7BC etc comes along and all of a sudden you can hunt with a long action again.
