I'm using a T/C Prohunter with a Nikon Monarch BDC 3x12x42 and shooting from a bench and lead sled. I picked up a box of the Hornady 162 gr SST to give them a try to see if the will close up the group. Any info will help. Thanks in advance.

2" at 200 yards is great shooting. Keep shooting the Accubonds that you know will work well for elk rather then switch to a bullet that may or may not be too soft (my experience with them in a 300wby says they are to soft). Also, drop the lead sled and start practicing from field positions unless you plan on dragging that contraption into the woods with you.


Whatever a 7x57 can do a 270 can do better.

True fair chase is you in the woods buttnaked with nothing but your finger nails and teeth.

If you'e fixin' to put a hole in something, make it a hole to remember.
