Re: Contemplating a new rifle.
I have been hunting with the 6mm Creedmoor Howa for the past couple of weeks, mainly blesbuck but it also accounted for a springbok, an impala and a black wildebeest. The blesbuck below was shot this morning at ±300m with a 90gr Hornady CX bullet.
Scope is a Leupold VX-6 3-18x44 and the silencer is a Fryer & Devik 131.

Re: Contemplating a new rifle.
How "soft" are those Hornady CX bullets?
Compared to other monos?

Re: Contemplating a new rifle.
One of the best purchases I ever made was my Savage VLP in 204 Ruger. You will drop anything from a crow to a blesbuck. Cheap to shoot, forgiving to reload and cases and bullets are not that hard to come by. I shoot a 32 grain VMax at almost 4000 fps.
Speed kills.
