baldie Posted November 3, 2019 Report Share Posted November 3, 2019 This is very true. The wheel always turns full circle though, and it was a visit to Tiff's to shoot ELR which prompted it. My creed just wasn't cutting it at 1300 plus with a 123. I suspect it would have been better with a 140, but it got me thinking, how far I could go, with a short action .308 bolt head in my AX rifle. In 6.5 , there isn't anything with more guts for this job. Retro.....😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
