Way more people will apply. $185 is small change now days for a chance at a tag. People tie up a few grand for a chance at a deer, antelope, and elk tag in NM every year.
You actually have to put in a little effort the way it is now. When it takes a couple clicks to apply everyone will do it just because you can. I apply for 9 western states. If I had to take a day off to get a tag I certainly would t apply for all of them.
I used the the tested velocity from my 6.5 PRC with factory 147s at 400 yards so that is in fact 100% correct. 2940 fps 24 inch barrel. The numbers for the 175 lrx are with tracers 2690 FPS load for his 30-06.
A statement that mine lost zero yes but not a big overall statement like your dramatic post is trying to make it out to be. You need to go touch some grass, that was a crazy reaction to me saying my one scope didn’t hold zero.
The dented case mouth is common with tikkas and doesn’t have anything to do with accuracy. Have you checked your action screws and scope rings? Sounds like something is lose and getting more lose.
So if energy matters why wouldn’t you want the round that has more energy? You don’t even agree with your own logic. Is your reason really that the 4.4 hundredths of an inch of extra diameter of a .308 bullet gives its better terminal performance? Because that’s the only thing the .30-06 has...
Just so you’re aware. A factory 147 gr 6.5 PRC load has around 270lbs more kinetic energy at 400 yards than that 30-06 load. Just thought you should know since you think kinetic energy is important.
I will always use the equipment I deem to be the best in the price point I want to pay or can pay. I’m not going to quit using what I believe to be the best because of their decisions as a business. especially considering at most I’m only going to own 1 to maybe 3 pieces of a product. In the...
