.223 for bear, deer, elk and moose.
Yeah, thats true. Guess anyone building a Poachers Special better do a rattle can camo job , with extra coats on the barrel. Or, alternatively, just use a cartridge that's legal 🤷♂️ -

I would never recommend poaching either, but I bet necked down brass that's headstamped 6mm creed would get you past anyone who did check -

What caused the Rokslide shift to smallest caliber and cartridges?
On another note, I'm assuming that 270 ren just becomes a straight wall when you fire it? Interesting looking cartridge. -
What caused the Rokslide shift to smallest caliber and cartridges?
Looks like a nice cartridge if you want to hunt within bow range. Max load I could find with a 90 grain Sierra is 1888 mv. Also, a 77 grain .224 bullet is going be quite a bit longer than a 90 grain .277. But by all means, build a fast twist, custom Hornet and post some kill pics on here next... -
What caused the Rokslide shift to smallest caliber and cartridges?
Great thread! Something I have always found humorous is that even many Fudds who use 338 super mags will tell you to buy a .243, 25-06 etc. for a young hunter, but "once they get old enough they can buy a big gun". Always seemed to me that if a .243 is adequate for a 10 yo, it should work even... -
.223 for bear, deer, elk and moose.
Thanks for the info. Im still looking around, probably wont buy something for a couple months. But I'll definitely keep that rifle in mind. -
.223 for bear, deer, elk and moose.
I was looking at those the other day, I'd like to get a 223 set up for my wife and she needs a compact lefty. Good to hear it'll stabilize 73s, I was wondering about that. Does it actually feel like a compact rifle with the spacer taken out, or just a full size gun with a short stock? I would... -

.223 for bear, deer, elk and moose.
Another deer down with the 223/77 tmk this morning. 278 yards, impact velocity around 2125. Slightly quartering away with his offside leg back. It made about a 1" hole thru his ribcage going in, blew theu the heart, and then around an inch and a half on the way out. Shattered his offside leg... -
.223 for bear, deer, elk and moose.
It worked great, blasted through a vertebrae and made about a one inch exit. I wouldn't hesitate to do it if you have a chance. It makes for a nice clean carcass and no meat loss. -
.223 for bear, deer, elk and moose.
Put another doe down last night with the .223/77 combo. No pics, it was nothing special. 65 yard shot in the neck, dropped in her tracks as expected. -
How do you set your rifle down in the field?
Yep, I grew up in a hunting family where we all used "pretty rifles", all wood and blued. It was a complete gamechanger for me when I bought a tikka a couple years ago, sponge painted the stock, and realized scratches and dings didn't bother me anymore. -
How do you set your rifle down in the field?
Lol, I was thinking of this exact thing while typing above. Just couldn't remember your @ to tag you -
How do you set your rifle down in the field?
I get your point tho, especially with a wood stock and blued rifle that you're trying to keep pretty. Maybe a lightweight rifle/scope cover?
