180gr is normally considered heavy. You might consider a 150 or 165/168gr bonded bullet? This way you have all the pentration you need with the advantages of the lighter bullet?

I’m developing a load with RE26 and 180 ELD-M in mine. Still work to do, but I’m at 2780 fps so far and still on mild loads. I would use 2225 if not RE26 or 2217 for 162s. RE22 is very temp...

100 is screw fit and for some silly reason the more expensive 101 is a press fit. Get a Bergara I'm converted, pretty hard to beat for value, refined rem700 action with sako extractor and bolt...

Also check out what areas have recently been or about to be hammered by 1080. Some very good blocks got fucked over past year or 2.

It’s got to be great when you shoot so many deer you start not counting them

it works best in a 10 twist, i used to shoot them at 2450fps from my 22" 10 twist 308. Its an awesome killer, just make sure you know the trajectory well as it drops like a brick I use the 168...

No the tikka throats arn't overly long, it's the Eldx bullets that are long and skinny and go a long way up into the throat compared to a normal bullet. What factory round did you compare it too?...

Lets put it this way, bring whatever you want. If you bring something small you may or may not get some ribbing. And only those with REAL calibers will qualify for the BIG Kahuna award :thumbsup:
