By your learned advice, it seems the Hornady 130 gr. CX is the way to go. The Copper Creek load appears to be the fastest. I guess I have no choice but to buy both and see which one is most accurate. I have extensive African experience, especially with solids, and have no issues with a velocity...

Adam32+P, there are other places, including some military bases/ refuges and Government facilities. It's all stupid IMHO. We generally hunt antelope to LR, sheep are another species, I just like knowing I have the legs to go there if the situation demands it. Normally 700-800 conditions make...

That xtra yardage over 600 IS the difference. I think the 700-750 range would be enough in reality. With the 147 ELD-M's that is chip shot range, 800-950 is possible, beyond that it's the Berger 156 game on... I think someone, somewhere must be pushing out to that 700-750 zone with confidence...

Hello all. Please educate me as to who makes what load lead free bullets for up to 800 yard hunting? I'm beyond pleased with Hornady 147 ELD-M's. A stupid (lucky for me) dial and shoot in my off the shelf Proof Elevation (Non MTR) w/24" barrel. Sub 1/2" MOA anytime I do my job. A long awaited...

Hello to all. If you read the first thread, I thought I would take a few minutes to update the initial impressions of the complete (now) setup as it went to the range yesterday. Gun: Proof Elevation (not MTR) 6.5 PRC 24" barrel Ammo: Factory Hornady ELD-M 147 gr. Optics: Swaro X5i 5-25 x 56 4WI...

Well done on the Thunder King sir! Good eating for a few meals for the family!

One planet, one gun... .375 H&H. solids or softs, Dik Dik to Jumbo's, and every living thing in between. Ammo widely available globally. A no brainer IMHO...

Like others here I use Crosstac Ultralight Saddle Shooting Rest Bag on a clip attached to my pack. Fast extremely light (ounces), goes on/over anything for front use, and simply cannot be beat for a rear rest when using pack for a front rest. Pix is of entire back pack kit for any shooting...

RE your AZ cow elk tag. I have the late 11/8 - 12/12 either sex AZ tag for those units. We should talk!

Bolt face(s) are user interchangeable, and you can screw on any Proof barrel your heart desires of same contour/length, and you have multiple guns in one.

Hey guy, save a ton of money by purchasing a Proof Research Elevation (Not MTR). It weighs 6 lbs 7 ounces bare with 24" barrel (you choose length). Add lightweight 1" rings, and a quality 3-9 scope and you'll be under 7 lbs 11 ounces. The rifle retails for $3499, I purchased mine from a TX...

Absolutely spectacular! If'n the chamber was 6.5 PRC, I'd snatch this in half a heartbeat, even though I just assembled one... well done sir!

Idaho Lefty, now that's one I have never heard! Sound advice, even though today's gun prices might take a bag or three more money to seal the deal! Thanks for sharing...

Dug, I mimic your set up except I try to use my pack (NA only) for a rear stock/arm support wherever it can work. I've found it to be quicker and firmer than other methods. Not a fan of trigger stick - too heavy... It's always about the hold... thanks!
