How does the 195 perform in the bull elk killing department?
If I quit shooting them with a pointy stick then I could let ya know
I have a rifle cow tag in a few weeks so I can let ya know on that. Hopefully some folks jump in with positive results on elk.
The 195 in a 28 Nosler is THE most loaded round I put together. Thousands of them. And they kill like a lightning bolt.
Might have to build me one of those to be the big brother to my 7 SAUM…
Funny, because I have a small family of 7mms. And a new baby brother on the way in a week or two!
28 Nosler, 7RM, .280AI.....and a 7SS coming very soon!
From what I have seen, they absolutely suck, but other people think they are great. A bunch of guys around here had rifles built around that bullet a few years ago, and most of them have had them rebarreled or gone to ELD-x. I've seen some weird shit, both on elk and deer.
I guess its like any other bullet these days then. Some hate them and some swear by them. Put any of these bullets in the vitals and its going to die.
Yeah, and there might have been a bad batch or something going around here. One buddy of mine put five into the vitals of a cow before she finally went down. Yeah, she would have died anyway, but God knows where. But like you said, every bullet these days has its fans and detractors. One thing about the 195s is that, from what I can tell, they are one of the easiest bullets to get to shoot.
