You guys should look at the 140MBs too. They fly great in several of my 6.5s.

The issue I have with Tikkas and the .300WM is the very short mag box on them. You have to seat the heavies very deep in the case to fit.

IMR8133 has worked well fpr me in big cases like 28 Nos, .300WM, .300RUM. I run it in my personal 28 Nos w. 195s.

You think I should step up to the 25SST?

Good shot placement does the trick.

I figured my 6 Creed was plenty. No need for OVERKILL.

In for the win.

Welcome to your new obsession.

The only 143gr ELD-X I am aware of is 6.5mm.

Yeah.....definitely don't go in there.... Leaves more opportunity for me to get some...

Why would caliber matter for a suppressor cover? I guess it is 38mm caliber....

The 197 SMK is a very long, high BC bullet. 1:7.5" minimum twist requirement. I would not consider it for a 1:9" twist, at all. I would look at up to 175s. Even the 183 SMK & 180 SMK states a 1:8" minimum. Know this....when a company says "Minimum", that is not always the OPTIMAL twist rate. If you hunt high country, that helps with the air density and bullet stability. I have had great results with the 175 Elite, 175 SGK, 168 VLD, 175 SMK in 1:9" twist .280AIs and 7RMs. For the 1:9" .223, I like the 69 SMK too.

Holy cow! Great deal!

Shot it back in 2002-2003 timeframe. Had only hunted mule deer, and hunted Coues for 5 days. He was the biggest little dink I could find. Shot him on my last day and was really disappointed when I got to him. I had never laid hands on a Coues. Now I know....

TTT

Out of 96 different lots, there is a total of 3 bids...... A-hole prices. I wish I could bid $100....

To be honest, I am not sure if they are all even once fired. Might be some virgin in there. The 3 unloaded rounds took a good 3x3 old mule deer buck and a great coues back in the day. So you know they are lucky cases.

Some great looking pups!!!

I have 2 loaded rounds of .300WM w. 199 Hammer Hunters. If you need more than that, you are screwed anyway.

Busted....

Makes my mouth water...

Why cut off 50% of the unit to save $100?

I can pick up the H1000 for northAZarcher if he wants it. He did me a solid, so I can return the favor.

30 would probably do it. I have 118, need about 30-45 for development, then the 100 to load up.
