Official SCI score is 94 6/8. Largest single horn recorded.

It seems to me that the C1 can't measure instantaneous muzzle velocity. It has to be computed back. Bullets are slowing by 0.8 to 3+ fps...

I had heard about this from Mark (Dille), very sad, especially at such a young age, he was a good man. On the point of the...

Same here only a 22-250 imp. Seirra blitz 55 gr pills, wouldn't even venture to guess how many yotes it has wacked over the years. Deadly.

The Terminal Accent isn't going to blow up at close range. It's a much tougher bullet than either of Hornaday's bullets. The back half...

Yes it would be. The Swift, 22-250 AI, and 22 Creedmoor are all about the same case capacity. But if building a fast twist 22 for long...

The 180 Bergers are about 1.53 long with a G7 form factor ~0.91 and G7 BC near 0.35. Maybe the tip gives the ELDM some BC advantage. But...

In a 1-8 twist I trued it at .4 G7 in my buddy’s 28 Nosler. In my 1-9 twist 7-300 NMI it trued at .38

Do you think the 180 ELDM really has a G7 BC of 0.401? That would require a form factor below 0.8. Do you know how long that bullet is?

Rifle builders HATE mini chassis. It costs them $400 for a bedding job. You buy a chassis when you don't want to bed. Not sure what...

Go with the 245 in 308. But the high BC won't help much at those speeds and the bullet probably won't expand. There are better bullets...

That would be a lot like a 27 Nosler. Sort of like a long action 6.8 Western. If throated for the 170 Berger it would be a great setup.

I use ignorant prejudice for lots of decisions. That's the weight I choose for my 7mm. In The original post I should have mentioned...

I'd expect about 4000-4400 fps. But the lightest 338 Hammer makes is 175 grains. Barnes makes the 160 TTSX. Cut a bit off the bottom and...

Did you really mean 132 grain bullet in a high capacity 338? People are trying to tell you that doesn't make much sense.
