    .25.06 for Elk

    Drinking that made in Montana cool aide / hammerhead ? E=MC2 😉 or velocity doesn’t equal , mass+velocity combined think a porche doing 100mph hitting a brick wall vs a F150 vs a gravel truck . the OP was 25-06 on elk , my vote is 120gr monolith @ 3100fps vs 80gr hammer @ 3400 JM 2ct

    .25.06 for Elk

    Those hammer guys are fools? A mono in theory punches 30% better @ weight, I.E a 130gr ttsx = a 165gr cup core lead . Some folks IMO take that to the extreme and don’t get the physics of energy bleed, thinking fast & lite= better I split the middle per say and go 150gr mono instead of 130gr...

    If you only wanted one animal mounted, what would you choose?

    a 60-70 inches bull moose if only one I have a 340 elk , couple of 170+ white tail, a 170+ mule deer so a huge bull moose and the rest can hang in storage

    Nosler cartridges

    The barrel life of nosler chambers is terrible, I’ll take a 6.5x55 over a 26N every day

    .25.06 for Elk

    I would think 25-06 with a ttsx or accubond or a federal premium would be satisfactory
  9. S-3 Ranch

    Who chambers, 6.5x55 or 6.5-284 in a rifle

    Lack of ammunition is what lead to the purchase of the .308win 😕😕😕 2020-2021 the shelf’s were bare and then only in very limited boxes in mostly subpar loading, finally found 3 boxes of Norma oryx to hunt with

    Who chambers, 6.5x55 or 6.5-284 in a rifle

    The CM didn’t float the boat for me (+ good BC - bad velocity) , 6.5x55 , 6.5-284, 6.5 PCR , I can find both. High BC and velocities for hunting

    Texas nilgai

    Kinda both if federal draw it’s lucky draw , Texas state draw I earn points

    Who chambers, 6.5x55 or 6.5-284 in a rifle

    Tired of my .308win , and want to buy a new gun , who chambers those caliber? I know savage has the apex in 6.5-284 , 6.5x55 has ghosted me so fare . 6.5cm are everywhere

    .308win and monolithic bullets

    Yeah after switching to a .308win it seems incredible weak/ enenemic after shooting a.300wm and 270 . but when I bought a .308 it was really because ammunition shortages

    Norma 308 different?

    Yeah when I was in high school I wanted a 308 NM but ammunition was hard to find 😕😕 “after the introduction of the .358 Norma Magnum in 1959 Norma necked down the case to accept .308” bullets and the .308 Norma Magnum was born. In spite of its slightly smaller case capacity it is actually a more...

    Norma 308 different?

    Well the good news is after talking to Norma, the ones i bought are the more superior ones, and are loaded with Norma ORYX bonded over the unbonded cup and core whitetail :) , so good to go on large game like nilgai and aoudad

    Norma 308 different?

    I think i made same mistake as other people and bought two diffrent types in similar packaging with whitetaile vs elk , same stack , same shelf, and the clerk thought it was same products https://www.missouriwhitetails.com/threads/norma-308-ammo.248270/

    Another "is this bullet good enough for that?" thread.....

    Ha , I shot a .300wm 180gr horneday and had a guide tell me I needed nosler partitions or equivalent, well I blew him off and pole axed a huge bull ! 130gr .270 or 140gr ballistic tip has worked for me

    Yep I still don’t understand the passport deal, wife is a heart patient and we had all three vaCinn, and yet couldn’t travel, not like the vaccines did anything as I caught CV19 twice in 2021

    Fatal grizzly encounter

    Yeah, DJ Brask is a trip, he has some huge ranch’s in Texas , Wyoming, Montana, and yet would get freaky if our hunters built a outhouse or pole barn without his permission! he is developing a substantial subdivision in San Antonio right over the aquafaer and world’s largest bat cave, I guess F...
