Yeah, I don't disagree. With bows, however, you arnt going to kill them with impact or energy. More cutting main arteries or having them bleed out. They are also far larger in size than a 6.5 would be...
Haha yeah again I think it all goes back to shot placement and what bullets your using that...
I mean for sure its all about shot placement. You can kill an elk with a 22 if you hit it the head no? My gunsmith swears by his 22-250 for elk. But he also only shoots them 400 yards and in AND ONLY in the head.
Nonetheless, perfect shot placement with a 6.5cm with beat any caliber with a bad...
Yeah, ill be honest, There will never be a time I will take an elk at 900 with a 6.5cm. Just not anywhere close to being an ethical shot in my opinion, but everyone is different.
Let's take an example. Shooting a 140gn Berger VLD out of a 6.5cm pushing 2800 fps out of a 26" barrel (high end on...
It’s the 6.5 prc I’ve been hearing that has issues with resizing. The aw2 reamer solves the issues I’ve heard but I’ve also heard it just pushes out the issue to another date haha. Like instead of once or twice fired brass the aw2 gets you to 4-6 times fired haha
Why go with another 7mm? I'm torn becuase I dont want to make my 7mag absolute. I'm definitely leaning towards to 6.5 saum after hearing about all of the sizing issues with the PRC.
I already have a MDT chassis on the way in a LA 3.850 CIP mag length. Going to be interchanging my 7Mag barreled action with the 6.5 saum.
I wonder if I could use their Accurate mag 300WM 3 rounder and get it to feed well.
My local smith mentioned he only had the 0.08 freebore 6.5 SAUM reamer. Which I believe is geared more towards to the short action? I plan on running either 140 bergers or the 156 berger EOL. Would prefer the later. He also mentioned theres an 80% chance I will have feeding issues out of LA mag...
Sweet thanks guys yeah i think im going to do the 6.5 SAUM. Any recommendations on powders? I've got 2lbs of retumbo but I dont think itll be fast enough burning for a 20" barrel. Plenty of H4831SC which i think would be decent
I’ve thought about the 300wsm as well actually but not sure if that will be a fire breather at a 20” barrel
Don’t want another 284 since my 7mag covers that extremely well haha
Hi guys. Going to be building a new lightweight hunting rifle off of an MDT HNT26 LA CIP Chassis. Going to stick with a long action platform as I currently have a Kelbly's LA 7mag with a 26" proof barrel that I want to throw in the chassis as well. Looking to build with a 20-22" carbon barrel...
