I would love forma member here to have had a cam on water. Every one I saw should have a funny photo of me on it.

Here is the exit from a 180 Hybrid from my 7RM @ 2996MV. 662 yard shot.

Awesome job, and amazing buck!

Awesome job. Good eating in your future too. No testosterone tainted meat.

No worries, I didn't take it that way. Just clarifying for the masses.

Believe me, I have a magnifying glass with me when I am shooting a ladder test to check for the slightest sign of pressure. I would love to keep the 175s up around 2900-2920 if I can get them shooting good.

168 HVLD @ 2938 average. I had a few hotter, but 1 or 3 would have very slight ejector marks. Allvirgin brass though. But, I did get some good speeds with the 175 Elite Hunter too. Up to 2954 when I got any pressure. Can't wait to shoot some groups with them. RL23 is giving good speeds. I hope they give as good of accuracy as H1000.

Awesome times! Love me some squirrel gumbo.

Didn't get hardly any photos, but another member here that I did load development for, has a hunt coming up, and wanted to go verify drops out at some longer ranges. Had a blast, shot some mid and long range stuff. I think he is ready for his hunt. I don't know how much long range experience he had, but I think it was an eye opener for him on what his rifles are capable of. We started right off the bat at 545, then went 751, 1191, and 1435. I don't think he thought 545 was even possible, but I build his rifle and ballistic info into Shooter, worked up the conditions, and he put his first shot within 4" of POA. Did some quick adjustments, and tjen shot a few more, then went ton751 where he was within 2" of POA on his 1st shot. We shot: R700 custom 6.5 SLR pushing a 140 HVLD @ 2843fps .264WM R700 Sendero pushing a 130 HVLD @ 3180fps 7RM Sako LR Hunter pushing a 168 HVLD @ 2950fps (need to true the velocity, I think it is a hair faster than this) .300RUM R700 custom pushing a 230 Hybrid @ 3068fps I have had my scope off my .300RUM and on another rifle for load development, and had my rifle worked on by Phoenix Custom Rifles (bed stock, Cerakote, Wyatt's extended box), and had not rezeroed or shot it since I messed with the zero, so I had to get that done before the next few hunts I have to go on. So I took that out, and good Lord is that thing a work of art hammer. It was really cool to get out with someone who has not done any long range stuff, and help tjem gain the confidence to make that mid-range (out to 750) shot.

Yeah, we got there, I open the back of the truck....dang it. Shooting mat still on my reloading desk.

Gear eating elk!!! By the amount of blood under her, looks like a good shot too.

Rocks. And I was not hiking out to take photos.

Love the little kicker off the left of the forkie!

No way he noticeably grew in 6 days AND rubbed velvet off. It is just the head position, ear position, body position, etc. But a great buck, and a shooter in almost any unit.

That is Awesome! Congrats. One question...Got it last night and the hide is still on?

The .280AI is coming along very nicely. Started testing the 175 Elite Hunter today. But also working on the 168 HVLD. Both with H1000 & RL23. I had 5 different charge weights that were all under 1/2" (3 using H1000, and 2 using RL23 well over 3000fps), but this 3 shot group @ 2940fps over H1000 had a way of standing out....

Spoiler alert.....and a tease. I shot my bull last night in 7E. Story and pics to come when I get home. Tearful and joyful hunt. I used my father-in-law's 7RM he asked me to build and kill a bull with when he passed away last year. Sorry. Stay tuned.

I got my bull in Sept. I have 3 more bull tags to try and get filled for family members in December.

Nope. I figure if a barrel shoots under .3", the "break in" was a success.

Postimage.org...

Postimage.org it is.

As of yesterday, the members that had previously paid a small fee for an add-free and larger storage account (like myself) who were supposed to be grandfathered in until Dec. 31, 2018, just got screwed.

Great buck! Congrats.

Just like the SMK and Hybrids. Put them where they need to go and stuff dies quickly. Good thread on www.snipershide.com in the hunting section "post your SMK (or match) kills". https://forum.snipershide.com/forum/sniper%C2%92s-hide%C2%AE-forward-operating-base/sniper-s-hide-hunting-fishing/98817-post-your-smk-match-bullet-kills

Yes. Sorry. Was up on a hunt.
