Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Long Range Hunting need some advice...

Oh my,

You need a 220 swift, fastest cartridge eva!

4000 fps killin SOB

Oh and where is Big Stick when we need him?

Get a new barrel with a 7.5-8" twist and shoot 180 ELD's or 195 Bergers.

I think if I had a Christensen arms rifle in 7mm mag and it wouldn't shoot anything over 150 grains I would be having a talk with them!

Just stick to head shots with the 120s and you oughta be good to MBSR.

I have no room for either Hornady ELDs or Berger bullets.. when I bought my rifle which by the way is my 2nd 7mmRM, I was told that the 1:9.5 is best suited for 120-150 grain bullets. My barrel is a titanium barrel wrapped carbon fibre. so I'm not going to buy another barrel.

When I bought my Weatherby 7mm RM, I bought Berger 168 factory ammo. They shot a 6" group at 100 yards. So I complained and was introduced to 175grain which made things worse. Then looking for powder,I was introduced to The Marksman in Lethbridge. He gave me Barnes 140 grain TTSX and IMR 4350. My shots at 200yards grouped to bullet in the bullet with no changes to the rifle.

Then my issue with the deer being mutilated at 500 yards. I was introduced to RL-22 and the TTSX 120 grain. I have not shot past 400 yards with them. but as I'm setting up for hunting in the fall, would like to get past this selection stage and concentrate on practising to hone my skill.

You've been introduced to a lot of stuff.

Sounds like you bought a turd of a rifle?

Lets see mag box too short for long range bullets?

Barrel twist to slow for long range bullets?

Why did you buy a medium range rifle? expecting it to do long range work?

But you do have a titanium carbon wrapped barrel, so there is that.

I’m off to flush more glitter down the toilet.

Went right over you boys heads.

Wow, never heard of a titanium carbon wrapped barrel.......who made it???

Maybe so. Because I still can't wrap my head around the reason why anyone would make up fictitious stupid schit to post on a hunting website for sh*ts and giggles.

The only thing that makes sense is a thoroughly pathetic existence.

You haven't read John Barsness for very long have you?

It was a legitimate question.

Everyone knows the Barsness B-29 has the same energy at 1000 yards as the Boeing B-29 upon take-off.....

Pretty sure ‘smoke is hip to that data..... but tired of turd-trolling dipshitts with newly minted nom de plumes....

It was an honest question as to what you where referring to. Smokes response lead me to believe he had never read one of John's most entertaining articles.

My mistake, I thought you were referring to the OP going over everyone's head. As someone else suggested, as a first post it has all the characteristics of a troll.

They were using RL22? Why didnt you say so, that changes everything.

Who is doing all the introductions for you? I would look for a new introducer.

My fault Smoke, for not being clear . I don't know if I'd ever read any John's articles before, but after B-29, I check out any that have his byline.

This thread has potential, we just need the OP to come back and provide more info. Pic's would be awesome also.
