    Anybody try Maker T-Rex bullets on game?

    Just wondering if Trex has a website or how to get my hands on some of these bullets? Looked all over web and it never would come up with a site or anything but people talking about them on forms.

    That is a sweet gun. Almost exactly what I was looking to do. I have shifted gears a little and am getting a sig sauer cross and then taking all the weight out of it I can. I used my behind the seat gun for my truck this year on my rifle hunt and it is a sig cross in 308 and I loved how compact...

    SIG CROSS Carbon Barrel...

    Used my 308 cross last elk season and loved it. Wishing someone would build a carbon hand guard and I would do a 16” carbon barrel in 7mm08 for a backcountry sheep gun. Would love to se the weight. What will be really cool is if they would get that 277 furry out and to where we can mess with it...

    If I’m right the 6.5ss is almost just like the prc?

    That makes sense because I was looking into what I might get out of the 7mm-08 to the 6.5 creed and I can push the 145 grain out of the 7mm as the 127 grain out of the 6.5. Also with the 7mm I’m not trying to load the heaviest bullet I can in it so it seams more efficient all the way around on...

    Lightweight hunting rifle build

    This thread has swapped over to my not super light gun but my 300 kind of. I am after a sub 6.5 pound gun at least with the caliber and barrel length is what I am trying to figure out. 6.5 creed,6.5prc,or 7mm-08 and around 20” barrel. Big question is for the weight and inefficiency between creed...

    I do like the bullet options but getting a box of something off a shelf is the only down side. I am getting reloading and that is why I would consider the 7mm rausm but the 7mag is about the only one. I feel like everything is switching to the 270 right now and then the 7mm will be the cool...

    I am looking at the nx8 on the 300 but will have to look deeper at the kahles

    It is really pulling me back to the 7mm because with the shorter barrel I can get better all around ballistics when you go bc’s and speed.

    That is what i was going to build because it is a better 270 wsm but am going with the 300 prc for bigger game. It will be about 8.5 pounds when finished. Left a little weight on the table for recoil. How are you liking the kahles.

    So my target weight is not set but I am looking at sheep, mule dear and under 400 yard elk. That gun you have looks like the other one I am working on which is a 300 prc for elk and bigger animals. I am a huge fan of the 7mm size and if Barnes is not making there new low drag bullet in 6.5 or if...

    Read the article and it was really good. A lot of good info. It starts to put back in the 7mm-08 because the Bullets I like to use have better bc’s.

    That is without scope. I am around 8.5 with scope

    Lightweight hunting rifle build

    I am running a 270wsm right now and I was pushing a Barnes 129g lrx at 3650 and was taking 600 yard shots and it was 7lb but looking for something shorter and lighter. Also that load was too much and I had to turn it down.
