Thanks, 123's it is then.......

I don't think you can buy the good stuff. I have the best luck finding it outside.

I found some here.



Funny but there is talk of a horn shot in the video.



Those were 140gr VLDs from the .264 Winnie.

I also found some on this hilltop 1018 yds away.






Lil Fish,

Remember that buck you ass shot at 500yds and then used your pack to cover it up in your hero picture? I do.

Funny thing about the 1 mile shoot was you were invited but no showed. Could have kept us all honest.

Love and kisses.

Mr. Burns your videos will not play for me.

Allow me to post on the topic....this is the onside (pencil hole) and offside scapulas from a bull elk at 742yds who caught a 142smk at mv of 2800ish. Drt.

I have taken elk at 420 and deer at 120 with the 140 match burner and had very similar results. A well placed round will not require a follow-up (so far in my experience)

The scapulas are 142smk, the elk heart is a 140 match burner. The heart is at 420yds quartering away, scapulas at 742 dead broadside.

I have used rl 17, h4350, imr4831 & h4831.....I just bought 10 more pounds of h4831....

jwp475,

The videos are in HD. Cna you click on the Youtube icon (in the video player) and see them on Youtube?

Still doesn't play it just say "private"

Same here but it says "proprietary" rather than private.

Good one!

John Squirms,

I've alotta Famous packs,rifles,blades,hats,binos,scopes,shirts,etc...you'd have to pinpoint your Whine,in order to narrow things down. If only to cheer you up,I've long been at ease in the affirmation of (2) boolit holes on every poke and could really give a fhuqk less,as to which end is the exit or the entrance,if only because the results are always the same. Hint.

Here you go,try a Famous pic of a Northbound Critter,that received the boolit's entrance in it's South end.



"Congratulations" on the sweet "satisfactions" that must be your's,in getting ALL giddy in scratching off the months,weeks and years from your calendar,so you finally get to go shoot on a Big Weekend Trip...if only to fall well shy in being able to count to 3 during the "Adventure". Gawdamnned,that's quite a fhuqking feather in your cap. Laffin'!

I enjoy your Imagination and it's Pretend,almost as much as you do,if only because it's so "real" to you. Laffin'!

Bless your heart.

Don't let the cat get your tongue,nor the couch your kchunt.

Wow. Another CF epic thread. Didn't learn much about 260 Scenars, VLDs or AMAXs though. Maybe I can find some stuff out for stretching my 260 barrels elsewhere...

Still on my first .260 barrel, but I can't get enough speed from a 130 (berger) over a 140 (amax) to make the 130 perform any better than the 140. Mid 28XX range top end and mid 27XX range top end, respectively. The 140 just has a tiny advantage in energy, drift is much the same, 140 a little (like a matter of a couple of centimetres, insignificant) better further out

The 130 JLK isn't available in my country (New Zealand) so I haven't considered them really. I don't believe their BC numbers regardless - from Litz numbers on their other bullets they're pretty similar to Bergers in reality?

140 amax works amazingly for me, have used it exclusively for hunting for the last 6 years or so in 6.5x47, 6.5x55 and now .260rem, excellent terminal ballistics


e: 19.4 inch barrel on my .260 hence the low speeds

One of my friends killed this bull last year right at 500 yards with a 140 Amax from his 260. Dropped in its tracks.
