Big or Bust

Have fun.... I'm 0-2 on Swaro warranty repairs on 15's.... I don't send crap in unless it really, really needs it....

That Alpha brass is good stuff....

Do the 6 Creed Lance....

Wife drew late rifle 4a...

Didn't do so well at debate team I gather.

Great build...

Brother, I'm too busy with the bees my man. Ive got it on my calendar. I'll try to swing by. Truck running great...

Kmart is gone because of Walmart, not guns...

My point and shoot Droid Turbo 2 phone....grin. I don't even carry a camera anymore.

Guide fees are going to increase I suspect, or clients will need to adjust their expectations.

To help you a bit here's some more data. My wife shoots a 7-08 for everything. It's a very moderate load. A 140 E-tip at 2,680 MV. But it's very accurate. She's taken three cow elk at distances between 200-375 yards if I recall correctly. Two dead on spot, one went 40 yards with a blind man blood trail. All exits. All lung shots with a bit of front shoulder as well....

In your opinion, what is it that makes them better? I'm a long time Barnes user myself, but I've thought about branching out. I like a few things: bit better BC, better wound channels especially at moderate impact velocities (1900-2300), critters seem to simply bleed better (wound channel mentioned) but the biggest thing is that critters seem to not go far after the shot... I've had pig and deer rodeos with lung shot critters and TTSX and no blood sign to follow. Found them all but gets you thinking. Most notably a pig at 100 yards with an 80 TTSX from a .243 at 3400+. Bullets are weird, I've got good buds who swear by TTSX but I run from them. I will say to start at minimum working up. Pressure can come a bit early and sudden... I gotta caveat this with IMO so folks don't get mad...grin...

The E-Tips are the best copper bullet going IME. Small to big, pigs to elk Ali has slayed them all. 100 percent exits, great wound cavity, critters dead very fast..... Shot TSX and TTSX for a long while, these are better....

Great job, great shot, super clear video...

Cool stuff guys....

Pretty interesting and no idea.... Below 3k feet though I'd say...grin...

Fixed it for you. Lmao.... I think I was one of the two witnesses for this display.... Love you Adam! Grin...

Just need to add a price bud...

Bob,I've got no dog in the fight but you sound like an anklebiter lap dog trying to get in the big yard. I'd stick to a football argument....

Good guy to deal with here folks...

About as good as it gets..

Sorry OP for the hijack. It was not my intent but when the ankle biters are yapping. I'll not post again. Mogollan Man, I'd just simply suggest less Outdoor Life magazine and the actual purchase of a spotting scope so then you can actually partake in a pertinent thread...

I don't open my yap unless I speak from experience friend especially on topics I can contribute too based on experience. This isn't certainly one of them. You should heed the same especially since you don't even own a spotter. Have fun...

About as narrow minded and moronic as your post about the spotters. I assume you have evidence that suggests your "method" of doing nothing is just as good, doesn't shorten barrel life, or decrease accuracy? Probably not, probably just more narrow minded thinking from someone who doesn't realize how little he actually knows. Take a breather bud.... Breaking in a barrel is a waste of time and components unless your barrel is bad from the start.
