50% off isn't a experienced shooter then. "This experienced racecar driver only crashes leaving the pits 50% of the time" -

Correct. But I've seen no shortage of people show up to a nrl22 shoot that would consider themselves a "pretty good shooter" and get put into a position that could easily happen hunting and miss a 3moa target at 50 yards, 4moa at 100 etc But they will also say they won't shoot past 300 yards... -

I don't think you understand the skill gap between someone "with good fundamentals and already knows how to shoot" compared to someone who shoots a few hundred or thousand rounds a month in good practice, timed practice, precision practice... It's significant. In every sport that's out there... -

Do you think alot of this is cause people with smaller calibers tend to shoot more? I know alot of prs/nrl type competitors and their "large rifle" is a 6.5 prc, 6.5 creed, 6.5x47 etc. They understand ballistics, recoil, their limits as a shooter etc. None of them want to shoot a large caliber... -

Kinda like my comparison of 2 factory loads between the 6.5 prc and 300 prc. 1979fps vs 1975fps at 800yds -

Did the guy at the local gun store tell you big boolet drop less and you just ran with it or what? -
Masculinity and Caliber Choice
This whole thing stemmed from a guy saying a 6.5 would work on deer out to 300 but past there they should go bigger... nonsense I'm suprised it's even a topic that's still being debated. I asked him for his personal experience and he hasn't responded yet. I'm expecting, like most people saying... -

Energy is almost irrelevant. But you made my point. Why shoot a gun that has more recoil and more muzzle blast to accomplish the same thing? A 6.5 prc (147@2910) and a 300 prc (225@2810) have essentially the same drop, drift, and impact velocity at 800yds. Yet "if you are shooting past 300yds... -

I know the difference, but if that 208 impacts a bit slower it was all for nothing. Or if you didn't manage recoil well and the shot doesn't land in a good spot, it was all for nothing. I wanted his response to those questions. Cause everyone seems to say go bigger with no reasoning or... -

So how does going .020"-.044" larger in diameter get me a significantly different wound channel? What about impact velocity? What about changes in those bullets themselves? What if a 147gr 6.5 bullet actually performs better on game than a 162gr 7mm or a 180gr 30 cal? Have you taken a white... -

We are alot alike in our jobs. My day job consists of things that people say you can't do. You can ask a "expert" thats never done it and he says it isn't something that can be done. The general public has absolutely zero grasp of it. Maybe that's where the desire for all this comes from. -

Reason im speaking up is I don't want a new shooter to come across this and think they can lead a elk by a hand width at 400 or use a word to lead it at 300yds. Same with match bullets for hunting, they work and people shouldnt be scared. These rumors and wise tales have ran long enough. This... -
