Come on guys. 10MM is equivalent to a 357 Mag. Hollow points are a very bad idea for large dangerous game. Not much penetration. If your going to depend on that cartridge best advice is heavy flat nose lead or Lehigh XP
I agree completely with the 243AI. Huge improvement. Out performs most other 6mm cartridges. Easy fire forming. I shoot mostly 105 -108 Bergers with a 8” twist Brux barrel @ 3200fps. Reduces case stretch and donuts by almost none. No negatives to talk about.
I’d try the ELD-X same weight. Designed for hunting with better penetration. Try them and they might still fall into the same moa setting on your scope
I think your choice is perfect for your application.300 WSM is a good choice with the 180 Accubond. I’ve always thought Tikka makes good quality products. The scope sound ideal as well. I think you’ve done your research well
I agree. My throated 30 Nosler is awesome. Especially with 215 Berger hybrid or 210 ABLR. But my lighter go to rifle is a throated 270WSM. Faster than the PRCs and plenty capable using 150 grain bullets.
Mine has a .225 throat. Berger 215 hybrid is my go to elk bullet. Huge kinetic energy. 80.0 grains of H1000 @ .020 gives me 3085 FPS. Last large bull went down instantly from a 600 yard lung shot. This is the best combo ever.
Heat treating is everything when it comes to the best edge possible. I spent the money to have my own heat treating equipment . This way I can guarantee my knives are what I’m selling. CPM 154 and CPMS35VN are the only steels I use anymore. Including in my flipper folding knives
I’m a professional custom knife maker. Lindsey’s leather and Knives. As you know there’s a lot of us out there. There’s no such thing as an expensive high quality knife. If you want a tuff long lasting edge, stainless steel, maybe semi skinner design in a fixed blade you should go custom. Look...
Do you all find stainless pins way better than walnut shells? Does stainless pins give you a better shine and are more thorough in cleaning? Thinking of switching. I use an older Hornady tumbler
The 215Berger flat work out of my 30Nolser. I’m right at 3085 FPS. You’ll find they work equally well in your 300WM. For some magical reason they perform flawlessly. Keep the hollow point open as larg as possible. Even with a small numbers drill. They have less bearing surface than the 210...
