Questions for Form and other "small caliber for big game" folks
Thanks, yes I run suppressors on my rifles now as I've found that I'm at least as affected by the loud percussion than the recoil. One follow-up. Form, you say to tape the muzzle when in the field. Do you cover all of the holes on the suppressor? My Nomad has the center bore-hole, but also a... -
.223, 6mm, and 6.5 failures on big game
Wow, I should have made some popcorn cause this is one entertaining thread.. Way past my bedtime now as I just read the whole thing. In regards to the debate about the "failure to penetrate" poster with the actual photos...... Here is a BS theory that I haven't seen mentioned. As I read... -

Questions for Form and other "small caliber for big game" folks
Hi Guys, I am new to the "small caliber for big game" discussion and since listening to the Form interviews that the Exo Mountain Gear guys posted on their podcast a few months ago I've been drinking out of a fire hose. Thanks to everyone (and especially to Form, The Exo guys and the Shoot2Hunt... -
Best Mono Bullet for Hunting/Effective Kills
And last real-world terminal ballistic report for now: This one is from a friend who was in Canada hunting Moose and Caribou in September. On the third day of their hunt he shot a bull caribou with his .338 Win Mag using Barnes LRX 250 grain bullets with a muzzle velocity of @2660. The animal... -
Best Mono Bullet for Hunting/Effective Kills
Here is a quick report from recent kills with copper bullets. On opening weekend my hunting partner shot a mature cow elk. 300 win mag, 180 grain Barnes TTSX factory load. Impact velocity around 2770. She was perfectly broadside at 80 yards and shot was perfect, just behind right shoulder... -
HAMMER Bullets Performance on Game
Hi, If your interested, I've posted copper bullet necropsy photos and reports for two other non-lead bullets in the thread: https://rokslide.com/forums/threads/best-mono-bullet-for-hunting-effective-kills.363241/page-2#post-3845508 I'd really like to work as a group to build more information... -
Copper Ammo Recomendations
Hey, I've shot one antelope buck and one whitetail with these bullets so far. The Antelope with Controlled Chaos and the Whitetail with the DRT. Have posted photos and reports of bullet performance here... -
Best Mono Bullet for Hunting/Effective Kills
Yesterday I shot another animal with my 6.5 Creedmore and non-lead ammo. This time it was the 135 Grain DRT bullet, shooting their factory load. Muzzle velocity of @2600 FPS. White tail doe presented herself right at dusk. Shot was 165 yards. Once again, I'm not super proud of my shooting as... -
Best Mono Bullet for Hunting/Effective Kills
Thanks, he’s a nice buck but not trophy (I’m a public land / block management hunter) he’s the biggest I’ve shot but I’m mainly a meat hunter. I don’t know about Maker bullets. I’m interested in learning more though. Here is the list I have of “more quickly expanding/ more frangible non-lead... -

Controlled chaos, 6.5 Creedmore Necropsy First animal killed with my 6.5 CM with 130 gr non tipped controlled chaos bullets by Lehigh defense. Factory loaded by them. Leaving barrel at 2760 fps. Antelope shot at 375 yards. So calculated impact speed of 2125 fps. Entry and exit wound photos... -
New Rifle Build- Bullet and Caliber- Mono metal- Thoughts?
I found the following in an old article on-line, "Another option is the DRT bullet, which literally turns to dust upon entry. “.....Son Dustin Worrell has a basketball star’s physique and a baseball player’s resume. He told me DRTs date to the 1990s at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, where... -

New Rifle Build- Bullet and Caliber- Mono metal- Thoughts?
I’m using 2800 fps as the basement for impact velocity. But I am only going off of advice from other forum threads. I have not been able to find any real testing data or any velocities published by DRT. -
New Rifle Build- Bullet and Caliber- Mono metal- Thoughts?
Before I finalize barrel order I’d love advice on barrel details. I’ve only used proof carbon for builds up to this point so I’m a newb when it comes to all of these options: 1-Twist rate— keeping in mind I’m looking to build the most accurate 6cm system for 600 yard max, mono metals (which... -
New Rifle Build- Bullet and Caliber- Mono metal- Thoughts?
Okay, based on all this data and discussion Im going to order an 18” 6cm barrel with the intent of loading 95 grain DRTs and hopefully having a very low recoil hunting rifle for every game animal in Montana and for lots of practical positional practice at the range. in reply to an earlier... -

No apologies required- I am very focused on these same questions and glad that there are others a to share this conversation with. -
New Rifle Build- Bullet and Caliber- Mono metal- Thoughts?
Thanks for the idea. I have discovered that I shoot much better with lower recoil (and especially suppressed.) Over the last 20 years I've migrated slowly down from .338 win mag. (HATED that gun!) to the 30-06, to a .308 (still love this one,) and now down to 6.5 CM and maybe even to 6 CM. It...
