This doesn’t make any sense. With a flatter trajectory there would be less margin for error in scope adjustments because you don’t have to adjust as much. Less adjustment means less margin for error.
I think you should jump on a ballistics calculator and find the right balance. There’s usually a solid middle ground (not always) but usually. Something that maintains velocity better and so it has more ft lbs then a heavier slower round.
I’ve contemplated a very similar question I would go for the sx4 pro. I think the upgrade in glass is very much worth it. I’m a value guy and I think there’s definitely areas that you can find things for less expensive that perform as well as their expensive counterparts. Spotting scopes I don’t...
I’ve been wanting to do this myself and from everything I’ve been told and heard it’s totally possible. I want to build one because my favorite action (browning x bolt) doesn’t really make semi custom rifles.
I’m all for shot placement argument. And don’t believe many of the old ft lb arguments that people use against smaller cartridges. What distance are you planning on being able to kill an elk at? They’re tough animals…
