After poring over maps for a fair whack of time and hoping my preferred area of the Northern Ruahines wouldn’t get 1080’d I found out the drop was postponed. I had looked at a series of faces from...

I had similar experience with 200eldx as Kelton mentioned in another thread, unless bone was hit there was little expansion and deer ran off and needed tracking. Went back to 208amax, majority are...

One of the more recent Hornady podcasts mentioned that the 178 ELD-X was designed with 308 speeds in mind. The 200 is designed to be shot out of a 30 cal magnum which for its primary market in North...

I'd go 178s to claw back a bit of velocity, 178s or 200s will both slay out to further than your likely to shoot. I prefer the m's and as long as you're not doing warp 9 at 50 yards you're good to...

Shot a pair of reds with the 178 eldx from my wsm. 2900 mv. About 100m and 200m. 200m in the crease blew chunks of lung out the far side and it ran about 40m. The one at 100m was a hilar shot causing...

The last time I heard of a straw buyer that made it to the news for buying guns and onselling them to unlicenced people (gang members?) was NOT picked up by the register as it had not started yet....

It is amazing what you find in second hand stocks that's been done as a 'bedding' job. One of the last ones I picked up very cheap had what I think was some form of automotive or marine filler-type...

My Sako 300wsm superpig was 18" it was really nice to hunt with and plenty capable with 178gn ELDM'S if you decide you want to regain some velocity from chopping the barrel. :cool:
