We can be quite certain the V-Max is not an Elk bullet.
Very nice rifle & the whole deal !

Remember folks, you can't kill hogs if you leave your ammo on the kitchen table...

I'm famous for leaving the range gate card at home! Probably could buy a few rounds with the money wasted on fuel!

My range uses one of those magnetic reader fobs for the front gate - I put it on my car keys, so if I can drive to the range, I can get in. Only took me about 50 years to figure that out.

Guilty of that. Though yesterday we did kill five, i killed one with a dirty savage 243, felt like i needed a shower after i killed the thing.

These were a few of the victims.

Adam;
Looking at the last picture, it looks like you knocked the poop out of it...

Got some 75gr Amax stuffed into the blue box gold and heaped as much varget behind it I could. Ended up @ 34.5gr with bullet touching lands and a GMM primer. Average speed was 3538 for the average. Real low ES/ SD good grouping. I'm running within 125fps of max loads in my 22x47L.

For 1k I will, I'll shoot a few hogs with it though. If they don't open on at 3538 on game I'll stop, but they work wonders at long range.

Adam,

What did you end up with for brass length after fire forming????

Phil.

Adam,

Phil.

I'll check in the am, I'm thinking 1.542

 

[Phil]

That`s short........

 

[22DASHER]

That's way short.... I am getting 1.550-1.565 with the blue box in my 22!!! I can't come close to 34.5 grains of Varget in my 22 Dasher with 75 grain A-Max's!!!

 

[ab_bentley]

My bad, 1.542". Oddly enough they all came out the same length, which didn't happen on my first batch of brass.
