too funny on the polar
I've heard that story can't confirm it's true but it's a good story. I have a 6.5 RPM also I'm running the 127 LRX and 140 Accubond with good results on Whitetail, Antelope and Muledeer. I just don't take it Elk hunting.

It was my grandpa's black bear rifle he never shot it past 200 yards anyway. I can only get it to shoot 1'' groups with that load. Should work within 400. It's lightweight and points easily. Really reliable old ruger 77. I see no reason to sell it.
My 7rm shoots much better anyway.

I used TC maxi conicals. I think they were 370 gr. ??? I had a bullet mold for another conical that was lighter and a ball mold. Back then was before sabots with pistol bullets . I might have hit him with one of those . I have some with Barnes 45 cal. I think 200 gr. Bullets that I never tried. I could be wrong. Might even be 44 cal..
Been long time ago.
Where did you come up with the MV for the 338. I see most are running between 2800-2900 FPS at the muzzle with a 210 grain bullet.

I wouldn't use them on elk personally. My boy shot a small white tail buck this year and they were completely devastating. I think they are too fragile for much bigger game.I don't use ATips or ELDM's on game but I noticed a lot of people do. I can see the accuracy and BC point but I always thought target bullets had thinner jackets. Bergers do and why they are made to blow apart. I'm still confused. I member somebody saying or showing the ELDM had a thicker jacket than the ELDX. I don't know.
It is easy to get drawn in when something challenges your beliefs. There is more than one way to skin a cat, even if you don't believe it the cat will still have no skin

I have the T/C Maxi molds, and yes the 50 cal is 370 grains, and several ball molds in 36, 44 ( both pistol), 45, 50 and 54.

I tried the 225 accuracy wasn't as good as the 210 and the distance I'm going to shoot the 210 ballistics were better. ThanksSince you referenced the 225 here is Nosler's data on the 225. Most still in the 2700-2800 FPS. I know they are not losing 300 FPS in the first 100 yards.338 Winchester Magnum Load Data

6CM\6PRC\243 for taking deer no problem. I've seen a large 4X4 muley taken with a 243 (90gr AB) that dressed out at ~250lbs. With a well placed shot the buck only ran about 30yds. Of the elk I've taken the cows will double this weight and the big bulls triple it. The minimum caliber I've taken elk with (my grandpa took many as well) .277. Specifically 270 Win with a proven bullet that can handle big boned animals.
