Custom Reloads of Dallas has some they’ll sell you.

 

[SupressYourself]

I have 3# of H1000 and 8# of RL 16 that I would offload. I'd prefer to trade for H4895. FM area.

What do you think of their pricing? Ha ha.

Wait - 50 rnds... maybe not that extreme for such a high falootin round.

ooh... got brass? They discount loading your used brass.

Do you have fired 6.5mm-300 Weatherby brass!!?? Send it to me to reload your fired cases for deep discounts! Once you have the brass on hand, reloading the fired brass is much less expensive the second firing!

With shipping you should keep it to just under $5/shot. If you pretend to be European that $$ will be easier to stomach.

Looks like a guy will think a little between shots. Ha!

When you think about it, a guy doesn't sling much lead/copper hunting big game out west. Mostly one and done. Maybe 90% of the time if you're not driving deer (good old days).

Maybe in Minnetucky they sling a lot of lead.

Practicing at range would get pricey quick though.

That was my thought buying the rifle. I think I've used one box of 25-06 rounds in about 3 seasons and that's because I like to shoot the occasional porcupine or pick out a dirt clod to make sure I still got it. Normally the 6.5-300 Mags go for about 70-85 bucks a box. A little spendy, but if it is just a hunting gun it's palatable. Slinging the same bullet as the 6.5 Man Bun with a whole lot more zip is the appeal.

A pass through is a pass through. Extra energy spent on the hillside means jack. I shoot 127s in my man bun. 156 Berger in my 264

I'm not Marine Jiffy. I'll take the laser flat shooting Weatherby.

"Flat" is irrelevant assuming you have an LRF and are able to cypher the U/D on your elevation adjustment.

What if you don't have time for doo dads, the wind is blowing and the 30" chocolate horned box rack muley is on the trot?.......and you are shouldered waiting for that one partial second pause. I ain't got no time for that LRF jibba jabba.

If the wind is blowing that hard and it's far enough away that "flat" matters, you ought not be shooting, especially given that you're not practicing either.

I knew that was coming. So far everything I've tried to kill has died. Must be lucky. Might have to sell this POS Weatherby Mag and keep shooting the 25-06.

I wish I could say that.

I also wish Barnes would come out with a 150ish - 160ish LRX in 6.5. Not that I'm already a Barnes-aholic the way it is. There is probably a reason why they haven't, something like you'd need a 1:1 to stabilize or something crazy like that.

In calibers with "plenty" of case capacity I TRY and utilize a larger bullet. Yes, even with copper, for the most part. I'm far from a Berger pimp but I've been having good luck with the 156 EOL. Haven't pushed them real hard yet or stretched it out but initial testing has shown potential. If you run the numbers on "What could be" with that bullet it may sway you to try it. If you're into that sort of thing.


127s @ 3400 would definitely be hell on deer sized game. One could argue elk sized as well...but not on this thread.

 

[Captain Ahab]

I wish I could say that.

I should clarify. It is in regards to deer. I have shot a total of 3 deer since 2005. My wife usually gets the meat whitetail. I've just been looking for big ND mule deer. I drew another MD tag this year. I will miss now that I said that.

How many "everythings" is that?

I can't wrap my head around waiting 5-7yrs between tags and then using equipment I didn't take the time to learn to take full advantage of???
