I'm using hornady 4DOF, seems pretty so far.

Nathan F what barrel length?

ELD-M goes great at 7mm08 velocity. Modern ELD projectiles and modern dialable optics don't need max velocity to get good performance.
Moving up to 7mmRM you only gain about 10% velocity (in...

My first roaring sika, pretty young animal but will make good salami. Next time will be looking for a better set of head gear. Awesome experience, stags going nuts round camp overnight.

At 7mm08 velocity I've been finding the eldm have been generally exiting when impact velocity is around 2200fps (~300m). Don't want to jinx myself but so far have had 100% bang flops with reds and...

Exact same rifle configuration as you. 41gn 2208 and seated at 75mm COL. Stupidly accurate and 2630fps. Wouldn't shot well at shorter lengths in my rifle. Seems to flatten deer very well. Pretty good...

My experience for what its worth...

Goodyear wrangler - crap, wear fast and rubbish off rd
BFG KO2 - Great! Run them on work trucks, good wear and capable off rd where a full on mud tire isn't...

Tahr out of curiosity what is your favorite model of BRK?

gimp great post, you got some time on your hands at the moment?

The hornady podcast has some interesting discussions around groups and system precision. Mean radius (average miss distance!) is an...

Rough enough eh :P

Noise in the system.... collect more data ;)

Think gimp is poking a bit of fun as he knows this :thumbsup:

Eat Meater good explanation below

Eat Meater as an analogy wind is a bit like water. If you think of your gully as a stream and the wind is the water flow the velocity is lowest at the banks and highest at the middle. As wind is...

540y is a long shot in a hunting situation and any wind would need to be allowed for. Also remember if shooting over a "gap" eg your gully windspeed will be alot higher than what you observe at...

If I read the original question right "realistic range of a 16"..." id say no more than 300m. Sure on paper the heavies will work but you need a lot of experience to accurately place them in the...

Short for me these days unless snow, spaniards or matagouri is on the cards.

Honestly a secondhand Nissan leaf has been a game changer for our family run around. Nearly zero servicing cost, cheap to "fuel" and great to drive. Hilux only comes out for trips to the hills or...

Yup as above. Pretty stiff when dry after 5years but still waterproof. Only downside is they are pretty heavy.

I'm using 24grains with hornady brass in howa mini. Long OAL tho as running aftermarket bottom metal.

I have a fisherman, stug and a hitech (one of Ken's last stocks he made). I prefer the fisherman, top notch construction and weight. Overall fisherman is a bit more slender than the hitech. Only...

Question for the sika experts. When do sika stags strip velvet? Was hunting this time last year and all the sika stags I saw where carrying velvet. When are they likely to be hard underneath? ...

Don't use the S&B soft point stuff. Has a steel (copper washed) jacket. May as well use fmj, super hard projectile. A shame as it shot well in my old rifle. That said this was awhile ago. Like...

I'm running 59gr rl26 with 162gr ELD-M with a long OAL for 2830fps in 20inchbarrel. Seems low pressure load but seems to have plenty of knock down!

Have a manual 2018 hilux personally and a 2021 auto for work. Overall think the auto is far superior both off road and on road. This is from a dyed in the wool auto driver!

Very true!

Hot tip.... spraypaint bottle green or blue, put some stickers on it and take it carry-on as your waterbottle. Do make sure it's clean though! Make sure stove doesn't have any fuel...
