    .223, 6mm, and 6.5 failures on big game

    Another elk. But, if it was in the “shoulder” exactly as it is shown, it would be another “bullet failed to penetrate an elk shoulder” story.

    .223, 6mm, and 6.5 failures on big game

    Yeah no. That would almost universally be the “it’s too small” side. ? There are multiple threads with hundreds- HUNDREDS of detailed pictures and information, and thousands of logical and detailed responses to the consistent “but what abouts”. No- they seek evidence. You know, like...

    Equipment versus practice posts and Rifle practice/shooting

    The shot process is the same from all positions- 1). Body position: Straight and neutral behind the gun, as low as you can get, with as many contact points as you can get. Support front first, then rear. 2). Breath control: Breath in, breath out, bottom of the respiratory pause. 3)...

    Montana Rifle Co, Shoot2Hunt, and Rokslide Rifle

    Approx. 15x or just under- the Triggercam makes me use more magnification than usual. Position was a jacked up half sitting/half leaning on a bolder, unable to get straight behind the rifle. Front rest was the pack, no rear rest. Approximately a left 1.5 mil shift during recoil.

    What plastic is non-chlorinated brake cleaner melting from spraying on, and wiping off? It’s gets used hundreds of times a year by everyone I am around, and zero issues.

    .223, 6mm, and 6.5 failures on big game

    Fully expanded, less than 2 inches of penetration, little to no localized bruising or destroyed tissue…. Those elk are tough man.

    .223, 6mm, and 6.5 failures on big game

    Probably not if you ask the shooter. That’s devious. It must- there’s picture proof of if it. That’s right.

    What? You don’t believe a 30cal bonded bullet “blew up” and only penetrated an inch or two?

    Is it all Leopolds

    I copied the very first definition that popped up in the search- Which is the use that he intended regardless. “Cult”, like “racism”, “misogynist”, etc. are overused words for when a fact based, legitimate argument can’t be made. Instead of taking a drive by cop out with an overused...

    Best bear defense ammo? & New Hornady Backcountry Defense/DGH?

    It’s very common, and from my relatively limited experience, things tend to stop when they get smacked in the head. Skulls are designed to glance blows off of it. A sharp leading edge on the bullet profile helps greatly (true full wad cutter), and a rounded ogive hurts. Bowling pin...

    Maybe elk can stop bullets? 30cal bonded. That is the entrance into the back-strap.

    The 6UM

    Generally that’s correct, however the DTAC really stops consistently, and heavily fragmenting around 2,400fps- sometimes- even often it will down to around 2,200fps. It’s variable, however generally destroys tissue well; though below 2,400’iah fps impact it is not my preference for deer as it...

    Latest gen Leica Geovid R vs Fury HD vs GPO rangeguide RF BINOS?

    The newest Geovid R’s are the best non ballistic, RF binoculars on the market that I have seen. They are immediately better in all aspects (other than laser) than the Fury HD’s, and the GPO’s that I’ve seen were between the Fury’s and Geovid R’s.

    Best bear defense ammo? & New Hornady Backcountry Defense/DGH?

    The issue with almost all FMJ’s that I have seen is that they either skip off of hard objects too often (skull), and/or the lead gets squirted out the back when something hard is hit. Soft tissue penetration is often very deep, but straight line penetration against barriers is usually poor.

    Is it all Leopolds

    Why do you keep saying “cult”? It doesn’t mean what you think it means, and you’re using it as the word “racist” is used now. cult /kŭlt/ noun A religion or religious sect generally considered to be extremist or false, with its followers often living in an unconventional manner under the...
