you're going to love the 25 SST. I debated that and the 6.5 for along time.

you peaked my interest Yotebuster. I just ran the numbers of my 300 NMI shooting 215 grain bergers at 2950 fps against my 6.5 SST shooting 143 grain ELDXs at 2950, keeping all atmospheric pressures the same and setting the wind at 10 mph at 90 degrees and the difference in wind call is .3 MOA at...

I built the 6.5 SST for my kids and it quickly became my favorite rifle. I still love the big mags though too. I burned up my 28 Nosler and my 300 Rum. Rebarreled the 28 and sold it. I’m now rebarreling the 300 RUM but changing it to a 7 PRC because it was ballistically almost identical to my...

Scroll up it’s in this thread

I’m not saying everybody has to like them or use them. I’m only saying that the 37 animals I’ve seen hit with one ELDX Would disagree with your comment about every animal needing to be hit twice with a Hornady.

To say that any animal shot with a Hornady bullet needs to be shot twice is just a plain stupid comment or a naive one

probably do just fine put in the right spot But probably not smart on something that can kill me back. I’m not stuck to one caliber or one bullet like some seem to be 😉. In fact, I don’t think the ideal bullet has been invented yet. But obviously the thicker the animal, the tougher the hide...

I also like Bergers and use them in my 300 NMI but years ago I had a 28 nosler and was using 195 grain bergers in it. I don't know if its just that particular bullet but I had some issues with it. my son shot a deer at 560 yards and it full on splattered on his front shoulder. I'm talking 3" of...

I agree but prioritizing shot placement is number one. If someone is shooting a caliber that makes them flinch it doesn't matter what bullet they're flinging out there. Accuracy with a smaller, well constructed bullet trumps an inaccurate giant slug every time imo.

I just totaled it up and between me, my kids, and my friends we have shot 37 animals with a 143 grain ELDX from either a 6.5 SST or a 6.5-06 AI at ranges from 5 yards on a mountain goat to 915 yards on a deer and several elk in between and we have used a total of 37 bullets. We have never had to...

Price drop $1550 TYD

Everything is sold

All I’ve seen with ELDXs is bang flops anywhere from 325 yards to 915. My deer this last year at 915 yards ALMOST made it out of his bed. It was close but he stayed there 😂

Price drop $550. with the arca/outdoorsmans clamp I have $780 into it. Amazing head for the weight just switching to a ball head for hunting and PRS

The tripod has been sold. Still have the fluid head with the arca/outdoorsmans clamp.
