could even go 160gn in a rem mag :thumbsup:

Seems fraught with disappointment....the terminal ascent are good pills but have been out of stock in NZ for a long time with no word of new stock anytime soon.

Talk about thread resurrection....this thread is from 2018, 6 years ago :yaeh am not durnk:

Yup bout $200 per 100 projectiles, I just wanted to play with something different, will hopefully send a few more through animals at some stage.

Have been away hunting most of this week, shot a few deer however they were all inside 250 yards so I used Sako blade factory ammo (conveniently it shoots almost the same P.O.I only 1/2" lower).
I...

Same load, Sako 140gn blade (copper mono) the rem mag is a pussycat with the braked suppressor on it.
Little miss (13 y/o) has been practicing with my suppressed 308win but in reality there is no...

Daughters first deer and a wee buck at that :cool: super proud dad moment she smoked it at 180yards with the rem mag

Then later that day Dad smoked this old 10 at 240 yards with the rem...

So don't, no one is forcing you to. I just wanted to play with them, I know of at least 1 hunter here in NZ that is using them with great results.
They probably are a little harder, that being the...

Yesterday but yeah loaded these beautys 40x 166gn A-Tips
The green tips are factory Sako Blade 140gn

Nope, just been out and sectioned it a bit more....if it's hiding a cavity then it's well hidden....i know from personal experience the 150gn eldx is an extremely good hunting bullet.

Make of it what you will, I'll report back with real world results after next week. My observation is, it doesn't appear to be much different compared to a 150gn eldx (all i had to compare it to but...

On the cards next week ;)

Well charge ladder shot this morning, didn't leave me feeling too confident :x_x: nothing grouped better than about 1 inch except the hottest load but that was well over pressure and i wasn't gonna...

"I don’t get the propensity of kiwi hunters to use a bullet manufactured and marketed for targets and load them for shooting deer and expect hunting bullet results." maybe this threads not for you...

Interesting, certainly heard a lot of differing opinions on their effectiveness on game (more that they perform well, than not), will update when I've had a chance to try them. Hopefully my results...

2870fps over adi2217 although I reckon adi2225 would also work and possibly even give slightly higher velocity

As a side note, I will say it's nice to be working with a rem 700 action where I can decide seating depth based on my jam length and still have ample room in the mag, rather than have my seating...

Recently picked up a Bergara B14 Wilderness in 7mm rem mag and have been keen to get into load development (always the way).
I have owned a few Rem mags (3 from memory) and developed loads for a few...

Please check to see if CLR will react to whatever your suppressor is made from before trying it on the suppressor.

What does the manufacturer recommend ?


Do your homework on this, but I recall watching an Eric Cortina vid where he recommended using CLR and holy shit that stuff stripped the carbon off his...

Literally the post before yours :D

You know the rules....price required :yaeh am not durnk:

I have found all sako factory ammo to shoot incredibly well also pretty consistent velocities too.
I have tried 270win (mod 70), 308win (lupo and mk v), 30 06 (lupo), and 7mm rem mag (fierce) all...

It's definitely not great when you forget to put your ear pro back on in a concrete bunker :psychotic:
