If anyone is advocating ignoring data, it is you.
You pointed out that they did not recommend the AMAX for hunting, I pointed out that they (at least at one time) did recommend it for hunting.
Why not let people see all of the data and decide for themselves? Do you have some...
Results?
I never followed up on this thread with a target. I know it's been a while, but I've just stumbled upon this thread again.
I had great result with Rx-19 and this bullet.
and
Thanks again for the help!
Does anyone have the Berger manual they can share this page, or the data in it?
I have the 168gr VLD Hunting bullets to load in 30-06. (P/N 30510)
I have:
H4350 (which is what I think I want to try first)
IMR4350
RL-19
H4831SC
If someone has the data for this loadout min-max with...
Thanks.
IMR-8208 is my goto powder in 223. I've used it for light bullets in 30-06 with great success, also.
Funny: I just scored a full pound of Re-15 off craigslist for $20. I've all but stopped using Varget altogether.
Thanks for the link. I'm low on pistol powder for lead.
That...
I bought it from Midsouth Shooters
At the time they showed a restock date of 3/13/2013 for the 1lb jugs. No date for the 8lb. So, I ordered 10 of the 1lb containers.
I just purchased it last week. I was surprised when it shipped early.
The week before I ordered 2 8lb jugs from...
In my workup on this load, I did go as low as 22.0 and as high as 23.7 with no cycling issues whatsoever. The math of the workup put a particular step at 23.1, which turned out to shoot the best for me. Had I been paying attention I would have adjusted that load to the listed Max of 23.2...
Great powder for 223. I like it for 77SMK, 69SMK, 52SMK and others.
CFE 223 is another great one to try, if you haven't already.
Hodgdon list the max for the 77SMK @ 23.2. My <moa load is 23.1. 2611fps in a 16" barrel 1:8 twist.
I've also had great results with the 110 Sierra Varminter in 30-06 1:10 twist. I used IMR8208XBR in that load.
I'd certainly try this bullet in .308 (if I had one). Someday...
I bet it'd make a great coyote round.
The prostaff 5 has 6x magnification, which might be a bit much for bow hunting. YMMV.
Looks like a good unit for the price point, though. I've been happy with everything I own that says Nikon on it.
I just bought the Bushnell Bowhunter "Chuck Adams Edition" for $159 (free shipping) @ BHPhotovideo.com
I only JUST got it today.
It has the ARC feature to compensate for angles when bow hunting from a stand. This feature is automatic anytime you range under 100 yards. (It gives both...
Don't you have game wardens / DNR where you live?
Don't they evaluate populations and set limits and [closed or open] seasons on different animals? (Including predators)
Don't these numbers change every year?
What do you think these rules/seasons/limits are for?
Shooting predator...
