    The muzzle break is Cerekoted to match. I’ll use the brake unless on a backpack hunt with a guide/

    Berger 230 vs 215 for Hunting

    i had a 300RUM built last year and did load development for the 215 Hybrid. I shot an elk and numerous deer with the 215 and it performed great internally but almost never exited. I am thinking about switching to the 230 to try to get better penetration while keeping long range accuracy. My...

    What 30 Caliber Bullet for Bison?

    I would NOT use the Berger. I shoot the 215 Berger out of my RUM and it works good in certain situations. Not on a Bison. I would go 220 Partition or 200 Accubond, no question.

    6.5 PRC Barrel Length (22" or 24")

    My goal would be to push a 143 or 147 grain above 2,900 FPS. I don't need 3,000+ but also don't want to be below 2,900 FPS. Sounds like a 22' barrel would still achieve this which I would be happy with.

    6.5 PRC Barrel Length (22" or 24")

    Remmy - That is what I was being told....that going with a 22" barrel will take away the benefit of the PRC over just going with a CM.

    6.5 PRC Barrel Length (22" or 24")

    I am building a lightweight mountain / sheep rifle. I would like to go with a 20 or 22' barrel but have heard that I should strongly consider a 24" barrel in order to get the most out of this caliber. What are you guys thoughts? Is a shorter barrel limiting the 6.5 PRC? Thanks in advance for...

    Sitka Mountain Jacket XXL

    It was to big. XL fits great but had already used it.

    Sitka Mountain Jacket XXL

    Lightly used Sitka Mountain Jacket. Reason for selling is the size doesn't fit perfect. Lightly used (probably worn 8 times on deer hunts). $100 PM me for questions.

    Which bullet for elk?

    Thought I would provide an update. Both of us shot 6x6 bulls. My dad made a perfect shot at 338 yards. Below is the 168 VLD (7mm RM) recovered just inside the opposite shoulder's skin. Attached is the recovered bullet.

    Which bullet for elk?

    I appreciate the concern but I have owned the rifle for several years. Have shot both bullets out of it for several years and have both bullets dailed in. I can literally make one adjustment and either will be shooting 1 MOA or better and sited in at 200 yards. My dad has killed several...

    Which bullet for elk?

    The bullets are both failed in. The Partition is 1/2 an inch higher than the VLD at 100. I can easily make the adjustment. Both group really well. That is why I am second guessing it. Was gonna go with the VLD but the Partition has performed flawlessly for years for me.

    Which bullet for elk?

    I will be shooting my 300 RUM. My dad is going with me and only has a 270 so he will be shooting my 7mm. I know a .30 would be better, but I don’t have another .30. Just asking opinions on the 2 bullets. Thanks for those who replied.

    Which bullet for elk?

    Leaving Tues for an elk hunt. Which bullet would you recommend from a 7mm Rem mag? Shots will be less than 500 yards. Berger VLD 168 grain or a Nosler Partition 160 grain?
