    .223 for bear, deer, elk and moose.

    It's not my own personal one, but I must say its one of the cleanest processors you'll find anywhere. And they do a fantastic job!

    Nosler 7PRC 175 ABLR Factory Load

    Accubond Long Range Supposedly a touch softer than the normal Accubond to aid with expansion at further distances. I never said it was a better bullet than any other, but I do like the penetration of accubonds. Sounds like a nice mixture of expansion and penetration in theory.

    Nosler 7PRC 175 ABLR Factory Load

    Does anyone have any experience with the Nosler factory offering of 7mm PRC 175 grain ABLR? Very little on the internet about the load, but seems like the ideal load I'm looking for. Just wondering if anyone has used any on game yet and what their experiences were. Thanks!

    Proof Elevation versus Christensen Ridgeline FFT

    If you had the choice between a Proof Elevation Lightweight Hunter and a Christensen Ridgeline FFT in 7 PRC, which would you choose and why? The Christensen has a 2" shorter barrel, weighs over a pound less, and comes with a brake for 675 dollars less. I'm really leaning that direction for...

    .223 for bear, deer, elk and moose.

    Solid Georgia buck fell to the green goblin this evening. I didn’t get any autopsy pics, but it worked to perfection again. 120 yards quartering away in a clearcut. Bullet entered at the midpoint of the body and was under the offside hide in the offside shoulder. Entrance in the chest cavity was...

    Rut Report, CO 3rd Season

    Shot this old buck this evening near Meeker following 4 does. One younger buck with them. Biggest bodied deer I’ve ever laid hands on. With the talk of the winter kill from the locals and the weather outlook, I decided any mature deer with a good frame was taking a ride if I did my part. I got...

    .223 for bear, deer, elk and moose.

    Doe at 280 yards this morning. Tikka T3x and 77gr Black Hills TMK Quarter-sized exit and pure carnage between the holes. 30 yard death dash.

    .223 for bear, deer, elk and moose.

    My first victim fell this evening to the Green Goblins… Nice Georgia 10 pointer at 74 yards. 30 yard death run on 3 legs and he was done. Not much of a “test” for these bullets, but I couldn’t be happier! Entrance in right shoulder What was left of the bullet was found under the offside...

    Tikka "Rokslide Special", let's see 'em

    Current situation. It’s not an exact replica of the Rokslide special, but I’m leaning on this gun to become a utilitarian “do-all” gun for me. No frills, nothing fancy, just a solid and dependable setup that I’m not afraid to get dirty. I would like to upgrade the glass eventually, but it...

    .223 for bear, deer, elk and moose.

    Here’s to hoping tonight is the night I get to test the Tikka/TMK combo on a Georgia whitetail. Good luck this year everyone!

    110 Accubond Vs. 120 TTSX for Elk

    110 Accubond Vs. 120 TTSX for Elk

    I got invited on a last minute mule deer/elk hunt in Colorado for the third rifle hunt in November. I know bullets have been discussed ad nauseum on this forum, but wanted to get the Hive's opinion on my two choices. The two guns I currently own will both get the job done I know. First option...

    .223 for bear, deer, elk and moose.

    Finally got to take my Tikka .223 to the range yesterday. If these TMKs do as well as everyone says and the pictures show, I may never use anything else around here for whitetails… First 3 shots at 100 with the factory Black Hills TMK load: Two more at the end of the range session to verify...

    Which Caliber Ridgeline FFT??

    Makes sense, with ammo availability being the only real downfall to 7 PRC but hopefully that will change. Thanks!

    Which Caliber Ridgeline FFT??

    Thanks for the response! I am leaning 7 PRC at the moment for the reasons you said. My only hesitation is factory ammo availability at the moment. Even working for a gun store, factory ammo is hard to find. Plenty available in 300 mag and 6.5 PRC however. Thanks again!

    Which Caliber Ridgeline FFT??

    Hi everyone, Long time lurker, seldom poster. I have a unique opportunity and wanted the opinions of the hive here. I have the opportunity to get an essentially free Christensen Ridgeline through my second job at a local gun store. I may have to pay a slight difference in price for the FFT...

    .223 for bear, deer, elk and moose.

    Ok last question (I hope!): If you guys in this thread that are way more versed than me in this pursuit of the perfect bullet for a 223 could rank these bullets, how would it go?? I already realize the 77tmk is at the top of the list, so let’s go in order how you would rank the factory loaded...
