Hornady is pretty open that they will change powders and try to match accuracy kpi and pressure kpi and keep ammo flowing. I get why that’s a negative, you have situations like 7prc where the velocity on new lots was down 100fps or so from old lots with the powder change. The other option is...

They are already cheaper than their competitors and supply more product lol

For me the mountaineer lr looks better but the grip I don't have any interest in and the forend is more designed around the arca/flat forend hunter and I think the contouring on the rokstok would be better, that forend doesn't looks super comfy to hold. I think I could get past the forend but...

No, the inlet is tight as snot. It’s hard to get the dang thing out lol

That's great! I didn't say it was impossible either, I said more difficult. I'd be interested to see what litz reads those for av and cut them and see how they managed to do it Fwiw I’ve seen 7prc 180 eldm and 175 eldx match up within a few .1-.2 mrad out to 1k in a rifle another forum is...

Fwiw I got mine in today and I'm very impressed. Pretty swamped with work and family but hope to get some live rounds down next week. Off hand it's very nice, and much better than I had expected even. The grip feel is fantastic in about every way. Shape, angle and width are all about perfect...

I like this The less projects I have the better anymore

Weight and bc doesn't mean it's going to have the same point of impact, but even if so considering that bc is a function of form factor how could they duplicate the shape and weight with different metal amounts? Usually hunting bullets have more copper in the base and a tapering profile, the...

Why not just have UM but an arca on it?

it was designed to be a minimalistic sporter stock with nothing hanging below the forend. Originally they weren't even sure about the scallop but a poll showed it was 50/50 so they made both. The designer is a proponent of shooting off a backpack vs even a bipod, so I don't think he cares for...

No argument there

One of the biggest frustrations with the "hunting with match bullets" conversations is they are argued as one homogenous design. They are not all the same, and they do not all perform the same in tissue. Eldms don't perform the same as scenars, berger hybrids don't perform the same as SMKs...

The type of competition is pretty vital for this

depends on how the ground is without manipulation but I really like leaning into the natural pattern that’s already there and possibly clearing light brush to do food plots over just slapping in some corn. We let the neighbors feed them corn :)

My favorite rifle is my comp gun, tikka in a krg chassis with a Tooley chambered Bartlien
