    What caused the Rokslide shift to smallest caliber and cartridges?

    Scratch your jaw if you want. If your doing it about the difference between the 100gr and 117gr bullet, I been there and seen it first hand! I have always subsistence hunted so I find wasting meat simply to kill something off color! And I don't take photo's of animals I've killed either, never...

    .223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.

    I'd read years ago that Eskomo's prefered rifle was the 22 hornet. Don't know if that true or not but I would not try that. I think with the right circumstances and bullet selection and bullet placement it would work. Other cartridges give better selections of bullets and placement. I don't know...

    What caused the Rokslide shift to smallest caliber and cartridges?

    Cameron is right. Years ago I had a family to feed and not a lot of income, I fed my family! If things were the same today, I'd feed my family! You don't like it, I don't care!

    What caused the Rokslide shift to smallest caliber and cartridges?

    That is a lot of wasted meat! best shot I'd call the neck shot. Dead right there with lot less wasted meat. Miss understood your question which are which. You'll notice every shot but the neck shot waste's a lot of meat, the 243 and 223 if used in one of these is as bad as the rest problem being...

    What caused the Rokslide shift to smallest caliber and cartridges?

    I have also killed three deer with the 243 with three shots. The two 100gr bullet's I used did shoot through but the 75gr bullet made a mess inside and didn't go through. I believe the real down side of the 243 is lack of good bullets! 25 cal has a better selection of them up to 120gr. and the...

    What caused the Rokslide shift to smallest caliber and cartridges?

    No but I have with 50 and 55gr varmint bullet's from 22 CF's. Have also killed three deer with the 243 and I don't recommend it either. Because something is possible is no reason to recommend it! Most my deer have been shot with the 25-06, 6.5x55, 7mm Rem Mag and 308 Win. have also killed a few...

    What caused the Rokslide shift to smallest caliber and cartridges?

    I believe that worst came to past I could kill every shot with a 22 LR IF, I could get in the position I want. With a 223, no sweat but again depends on me getting the position I want. I can shoot the mild to non recoiling loads lots better than recoiling loads also. But no matter what I still...

    What caused the Rokslide shift to smallest caliber and cartridges?

    I'd guess there's something to that. I recall when Carmichel fooled with the 260 Rem one of his thought's was to tame recoil on long strings of shots in the target game!

    What caused the Rokslide shift to smallest caliber and cartridges?

    I won't. Thing missing is you have to know where to put that first shot.

    What caused the Rokslide shift to smallest caliber and cartridges?

    Let me correct this. "Killing power is there with the smaller cartridge's depending on the skill of the shooter".

    What caused the Rokslide shift to smallest caliber and cartridges?

    Think I'm in this guys corner for the most part. I believe that the ability to kill depends on a shooter that knows how to place his shot with the bullet he's using. If he does pretty much any bullet will kill well. At the same time I think anything below the 25 caliber is taking it to far and...

    Best Introductory Camera for Field Photography

    For some reason this does not surprise me. I use a D 7000 and it does all I can ask for. I am not a pro and never will be. But that in mind in the OP's place I'd think strongly about a decent point and shoot camera. I got one to carry on my belt out working with my dog's. Panasonic ZS 100. If it...

    Moving to Oregon from CA

    Oh boy, drop Washington too. Truth be known even Montana started downhill years ago, was stationed there at a small radar base in Lakeside. Wealthy people from all over the country came in and bought up land around Flathead Lake and built house on it so they could spend a couple weeks in private...

    Moving to Oregon from CA

They want to leave the city but bring the dam city with them, hate it when they come into town. If your wanting to...
