Rifle advice

[Weaver93]

I hate to admit it, but I own a Creedmoor myself. I only shoot it when no one is around to see me. My hair is kept short so the man bun thing is OUT!

Like riding a moped.....fun until a friend see ya!

Much more "politically correct" than my version! memtb

Howdy, even though I am a little old school. I like all the new cartridge that have come out. They are what should have been. New technology and bullets has given us great guns. I'm starting a new build right now, and I have been asked why a 270/308, and I am saying why not. I'm waiting on my reamer for now. But it will be a 27-08Ai with 40* shoulder, when it's done. Should make a good cartridge, out to 5 - 600yds. Only time will tell. Shoot what puts a smile on your face. And don't worry about what others think.

300 wm, full loads for elk and down load it for pigs

I have taken elk with a 30-06 with 180 gr Nosler Partitions for many years but limited my shots to 300 yards.
The problem was I was seeing elk at longer distances so I stepped up to 300 win mag and never looked back.Still have that 30-06 and love it but that 300 win mag kills with way more authority.
Just my opinion

Shot a javalina with a 300 win once . Field dressed it with the shot . Was running some 150s .Quartering and went in front shoulder and out offside rear quarter . So if your using for hogs make it a bigger pig or it makes a mess

270 win can work, 280 ai is hard to beat. 7 prc is what the cool kids are buying. 7 Rem Mag still works. 308 in a lighter package.

338 will not be said by me!

FUN until, you fall off and Break your fudging, Leg,..
Did that myself at, 57 y/o riding a Tiny Honda 50 cc Kids Bike over a Furrowed and dried up ( Hard Packed dirt ) Field !
Hit the Gas by accident, put feet down to get off, Flew over Handle Bars, Broke my Leg, a few Days after Christmas 2003 and was Operated on, by Bone Dr on Jan 6th 2004 with, a $5000.00 Per year, Deductible !
Total out the Door cost to Me, was $13,800.00 in 2004 Dollars,.. So,.. I'm DONE with, Mopeds and Motor cycles

One of my best friends used an old Winchester 70 pre 64 in 270 and killed elk every year at insane distances.
Couldn't figure out if it was him or the caliber.
Probably both

That has to be the worst luck I have heard of in a while.
WOW!

There is nothing wrong with a Creedmore, I have 4 of them. 1 is a 6, and 3 are 6/5. They are great cartridges. I like all mine.

What bullet/bullets have you used on elk so far?

Or…..use a bullet with more structural integrity! memtb

I have never shot at Elk with a Creedmore.

If you use a Creedmore on game….it's not considered "sport" hunting! Just killing with malice! memtb
