    225 ELDM failure on elk shoulder

    You're a f#@king troll go play somewhere else. This post is to share real world terminal performance for guys who care, I don't give a shit if you don't like it It wasn't my animal it was my friends, and I care because that bull suffered tremendously with a butchered shoulder for several hours...

    225 ELDM failure on elk shoulder

    Yeah checking into those as well as the cutting edge MTH line, the price sucks a little since I like to put a few hundred rounds a year through my hunting rifle.. That's my whole point... These ultra high BC bullets are designed for target shooting not punching through an elk shoulder. I'm...

    225 ELDM failure on elk shoulder

    This season has been eye opening for me in terms of LR bullets failing to perform well on elk (specifically shoulder shots) I had a really bad personal experience with the 215 Berger on a bull at 680 yards, and also spoke with a hunter who had a 300 grain Berger blow up at 775 yards on an elk...

    338 stock broke

    Has anyone seen a wood stock break like this? A friend from work says he was hunting and looked down to see his stock broken near the tang It's a 30 year old 338 win, I'm thinking maybe recoil stress..

    Vortex Razor LH

    Thanks for the detailed feedback Tracking accuracy is a big one for me, I had a vx5hd 3-15 that was way off when I did a tall target test. I think it was off by close to 3 moa at 25 minutes! the only Leupolds I trust to track are my Mk5's, I've had all the vx lines fail horribly including a vx6

    Vortex Razor LH

    Thanks guys Yeah I run ffp with exposed turrets on my dedicated LR rifles and it's the only way I'd ever go for that kind of work. I guess I'm hoping the 3-15 will bridge the gap for hunting in thick timber, while being capable of solid performance across those 500-700 yard clear cuts. Anyone...

    Vortex Razor LH

    Anyone have experience with the razor LH scopes? I'm looking at the 3-15x42 for my ultralight 6.5 saum. I use it for hunting heavy timber and mid range out to around 700 yards. I'd like to hear from guys who have done tracking tests specifically

    Federal Edge TLR

    Has anyone used the newish Edge TLR bullets from Federal? I'm looking for a long range hunting alternative to Berger and Hornady ( please don't turn this into a discussion about how great those bullets are on elk...) and am interested in the 200 grain 30 Cal TLR. With a BC of .625 it should...

    215 Berger failure

    I guess I'd better not tell you about the bull I dropped in it's tracks last year at 940 yards... One shot with an ELDM. I don't take long range shots Willy nilly, I've been obsessively shooting beyond 1200 yards for over a decade and I always get as close as possible. I don't believe in one...

    215 Berger failure

    Nope not an extreme angle, I didn't dig around in there too much it was a disgusting mess with shrapnel everywhere. Looked like it hit rib and came apart quick. I typically shoot ELDM's and they've been great, I went with the 215 because my barrel wouldn't shoot the 225's very well. I might give...

    215 Berger failure

    I mean it over expanded prematurely, the shot was quartering away and entered behind the lungs, it should have traveled through and angled into the offside shoulder. Instead it came apart in fragmented pieces about 6" in, I thought I had a pic of that one but I didn't. The 3rd shot made it to...

    215 Berger failure

    I shot my bull yesterday at 680 yards with a 215 berger, mv 3020. First shot was in the lungs, he hunched up and I sent a second round a little hasty... It hit him in the center of the neck where it meets the shoulder. Should have dropped in his tracks but the bull barely flinched. He ran off...

    30 nosler 23" barrel

    Does anyone have experience shooting 230 grain bullets from a shorter barreled 30 Nos? I'm looking at using a 23" barrel to run suppressed. Main application is long range elk hunting with 225's or 230's, I like to keep my shots under 950 yards

    Rifle recommendations

    Ruger m77, God dam you're gonna miss those tikkas.. I've had nothing but problems with the two I've owned, my buddies Hawkeye shot 2 moa on a good day. Total crap triggers with limited aftermarket support. Good luck

    Caliber Options: International Do It All Short Barreled Magnum

    With 215's ?? What's mag length for you, is it saami? I'm getting 3020 from a 27" barrel using N570 in my 300 PRC, and it's throated correctly for the 215.

    Caliber Options: International Do It All Short Barreled Magnum

    Well then.. You better just chamber in whatever is available in Kygyzstan or whichever Stan you're hunting in
