   Pretty average. I don’t wear them when stalking, only when it’s really pissing down.

   You can get away with narrow shelf spacing if there's little room. All depends how much crap you need to have at hand. You need a separate bookcase either way. This is my actual loading bench which I...

   Following on from spitifres comments, ELD-X and short range and ELD-M for long range but they have difference load data, I would just pick 1 good average bullet and develop great bullet placement...

   NABLR for a Grendel? Much better options than that, and the high BC is wasted, plus they are very expensive for shooting goats. It’s a bonded projectile and not a great long range design as it relies...

   The projectile hasn't failed in doing its job at the end of the day You could go heavier if you're worried about penitration like has been said earlier. But it hasn't failed because it killed the...

   Pete_D liked post by Flyblown On thread : Light weight rifle options

   Again, too subjective jamesgn8. X-Bolts come in a huge variety of shapes / sizes / styles. Try shooting offhand with a suppressed X-Bolt Hell’s Canyon. The main difference in balance and feel...

    Pretty typical for the sst to come apart, only a problem if lacking sectional density and hence penetration. Going up in weight may give more penitration and more consistent performance .

    I know with the 7m08 the 139sst generally is a Good option so in a 6.5 the 123 SST would make sense. There is no one wonder bullet and we have different expectations. Some want a bullet to do...

    I reckon any fool who would have taken that shot is more likely to miss at any range. Dam straight that dudes licence, gun and balls should have been confiscated on the spot.
