Following up. What did you end up doing 26Reload?

Don't worry. Some of us understand the reasons why.... carry on.

Speed for drop, BC for drift. The lighter bullets also drop less as well. ELD-M bullets are not hunting bullets. So technically there is no "minimum fps" for them. I've also found in my ballistic gel testing that minimum fps claims are often exagerated. The only two which seem to perform down...

I think it depends on your range. If you're shooting critters inside of 400yd, go with a lighter weight bullet and higher velocity. 120-130gr. If your trying to stretch the CM legs 300-600 yards I'd look at those ELD-M's... and switch to a PRC 😄 Every barrel is different. While one bullet may...

Interesting.... and confusing? You're telling me if a company gives enough money to LRH any universally negative threads about that company are shut down? As my 12 year old would say, "That's pretty sus."

First time I ever heard of a 338RUM as being a "do-it-all" cartridge. My do all is a 270win and it weighs 7lb with a suppressor. (Which by the way was Jack O'Conner's do all) I have heard many solid arguments for 30-06, 308, 7RM, and 300WM being a do all.... but not 338RUM or 338WM. A do it all...

Oh wow, yep. That leg looks mighty similar fordy. I should have skinned out the leg and seen what the bone looked like as Varmint recommended.

Fresh blood Edit: Actually I could be wrong. I don't remember. It wasn't a hoof, but it wasn't a straight nub. It was very weird. My guess is either got caught in a trap or birth defect.

Shot a doe this morning after I saw her limping. I thought it was suffering from another hunter but sure enough after she went down she only had three hooves and the fourth leg was about 4 inches shorter than the others. What do you think happened? Also, I used a 178gr ELD-X from my 308 at...

I just got a call back from Powder Valley. They told me they figured out how in their system how to charge the difference between the 1lb and 8lb container and I gave them full bill on it. Still doesn't make complete sense to me that they couldn't give at least a little discount since I didn't...

I would think that too but they've had 8lb containers in stock for the past few weeks. I doubt they have any shortage of H4831SC

It's probably the strangest interaction I've had with customer service in the past couple years at least. Absolutely confuses me. They will lose money on this, and have at best a confused customer on their hands willing to communicate his experience with others. I sent a contact us email via...

I agree... I called them back after reading your comment and told them I'd pay the full difference but again I was rejected. The woman I spoke with told me the owner wants the 8lb container back and stone walled me when I asked to speak with him. She said it may get complicated with the tax and...

I just thought I'd post my recent interaction with Powder Valley. On November 11th I ordered an 8lb container of H1000 and a 1lb container of H4831SC. Today my package arrived but had two 8lb containers in it. They accidently sent me an 8lb H4831SC. So I called Powder Valley to let them know...

As previously stated you could down load the 300WM pretty easily to 30-06 or 308 velocities. Just because you have a 300WM doesn't mean you have to shoot max speed. Bullet selection and shot placement (behind the shoulder) also plays a huge roll in meat loss. Pro-tip: head over to the Cast...
