They seem to work over a huge velocity spread. Up close they seem to fragment like a cross between a ELDm and Berger target. At distance, 1400-2000 fps they tumble and make a mess. The PH in Africa said “that little bullet is hard to argue with”.
No, that would be a HUGE pain in the ass. We are on the downhill side of this IMO. Stockys is sending good-looking stocks, and UM is getting hardware and paint on them if needed and out the door as fast as QC allows. Looking back, our biggest **** up was too many options and the presale.

Over the past eight months, I've been criticized by numerous people who claim that a 6mm cannot kill a giraffe. They argued that it was unethical and that the giraffe may suffer for days or weeks before dying. One person even emailed me, insisting that a giraffe's hide is one inch thick and that...
Yeap! Then I made a perfect shot at 1775 yards.... Would I do it again? Probably not, mainly because of bullet construction. But do Sighter shots work, absolutely

I shot a couple of nilgai and giraffe with a 6mm. Both of the guides said I couldn’t. It doesn’t take much to convince them when your paying for the hunt.
Most guides also suck at shooting and know even less about bullet construction. Telling them that my little 6mm with a dtac is going to produce a far better wound channel than a 200 grain mono is witchcraft to them.

I hunted with two brothers in high school, and they used a 30-378 pushing 165g blue Molly Barnes X bullets. They freaking destroyed elk meat with that thing. "Gotta put it on the shoulder they would say.".... Maybe, but probably not at 90 yards:)
They moved to 180 Nosler BT later and started...
