    ++Bighorn TL3 Builds++

    Is that the Exodus in the top two pictures? Been talking to John Kyle about getting one for my coyote rig. They are a little heavier than I’d like but I think adding a proof will make it balance well

    Hunting & Fishing 140gr ELD Match

    All success stories are at extended ranges. No doubt the Eld-m is adequate for killing deer. But for me and mine I’ll stick to a bullet that performs at all ranges. Thank you for the pictures. Thats some nice shooting

    Hunting & Fishing 140gr ELD Match

    In this picture you can see two bullet holes. The one with blood coming out is the exit hole from the 2nd shot. The deer was slightly quartered towards him. The first exit hole can be seen right behind the shoulder blade. Its a dead deer non the less but interal damage was minimal. Ive seen...

    Gunsmithing Cerakote on Lugs

    That has been my experience with rifles ive owned. In my opinion it looks much more professional. Keep up the good work

    Hunting & Fishing 140gr ELD Match

    Exactly why it’s important to note the exact caliber and bullet I mentioned. Example. In my experience. The 123gr Amax flat out hammers shit. I did not ever try the 140 amax due to me reading that it did not perform well. Nice shootin mullhead. Enough proof for me to consider the 130 eldm in...

    Hunting & Fishing 140gr ELD Match

    I disagree with the shoulder comment. Ive never had to track a single animal in my life harvested by myself. Dont know what I’m doing different than others but it involves putting a reliable bullet in the heart/lungs. If they dont bang flop I could piss on them from where they were shot. Back...

    Hunting & Fishing 140gr ELD Match

    Im sure his reamer is throated for them. Bullet is a bullet to my inlaws. Wish i could get back every bit of my life ive spent tracking their animals. He is bringing me the rifle and all his brass at Christmas. Going to load him some quality ammo

    Gunsmithing Cerakote on Lugs

    Thanks for the replies fellas. Never seen a “custom” rifle of this caliber. With all the garage shop gunsmiths i cant help but be cautious. Then again ive only owned rifles from top tier smiths. Looks like he will be fine for the 2 times a year he is in the field

    He will from now on. He was “told” to shoot hornady match by the gunsmith.

    Hunting & Fishing 140gr ELD Match

    Very nice kills sir. What did the wound channels look like? Our property in childress texas is no place that you want to track an animal. The first shot on his big deer would have definitely killed him but had he not stopped in an opening between mesquite trees for a follow up shot he would...

    Gunsmithing Cerakote on Lugs

    Brother in law brought down his new creedmoor this weekend. In my opinion the smith went a little crazy with the cerakote. R700 action. He coated the race ways, breach face, and ENTIRE bolt. Lugs both front and back. Bolt face. Everything. I cant help but imagine that creating headspace issues...

    Hunting & Fishing 140gr ELD Match

    Some may say im stating the obvious but DO NOT use Hornady 140gr ELD Match bullets for Whitetail deer. My Brother in Law had a very successful hunt this morning with his new Creedmoor. Shot his biggest whitetail to date along with a doe. The buck was shot twice in the boiler room. Both shots...

    Please help - Bighorn TL3 Problem - N00b Question?
