    What caused the Rokslide shift to smallest caliber and cartridges?

    I think the Hornady guys talked about this on a podcast, not sure which one. Their theory was that it depends on the animals blood pressure at the time they get shot. Relaxed, feeding critters have a low blood pressure and thus the blood flow to the brain stops faster. Rutting, stressed, or like...

    Quick drop question/idea

    As far as being .4 high at closer ranges, that wouldn’t bother me too much. I grew up sighting in rifles a little high at 100, your dead on at 200, hold top of back at 300. Or whatever looks like 300. You know that type😉 only started getting serious with my shooting in the last couple years. But...

    Quick drop question/idea

    I should have made it clear in the op, this would be for 400 yards and in with a 223. Much past 400 and the .4 mil correction starts to not line up, but I’m not going to shoot past that range anyway. With my .243 I will do same as you, quick drop with whatever correction is needed, and then use...

    Thats what I do? Can you elaborate what exactly you mean?

    Quick drop question/idea

    So I finally got my first mil scope a couple moths ago and started learning quick drop. It has been an absolute game changer! My current load from a 223 is an 80 eldm at around 2550 fps. That puts me at quick drop plus four tenths. For example at say 380 yards, I dial 1.8 plus another .4, for a...

    Which Bullets to use? ELD-m "Murder bullets" for everything?

    By how much? Watch your own chest as you take the deepest breath you can, then breathe out as much as possible. It’s probably a 5% difference from fully inflated, more than normal breath, to as deflated as possible without actually dying. 10% max. A theoretical animal that actually has a four...

    6mm /.243 hunting success on Big Game

    The nosler 95 ballistic tip seems to be the most recommended. Ive only personally seen two deer shot with them, but they worked great.

    Ruger GEN II, Ranch Rifle .223 magazine

    If you call Ruger they should be able to hook you up with one. You will also need a different bottom plastic/magwell insert I believe.

    Anyone shooting 108 in a 243 win tikka?

    What caused the Rokslide shift to smallest caliber and cartridges?

    I was going to say this after I got caught up, ya beat me to it. Some guys need to spend more money on ammo instead of buying boxer briefs in the same camo pattern as their boots.

    What caused the Rokslide shift to smallest caliber and cartridges?

    This is the first paragraph of the OP. To everyone arguing against small calibers, lets say 6.5 and down, have you read those three threads? If not, take some time and go do it. At least skim through and look at the necropsy pics. And if you have read them, please link to anything that you think...

    What caused the Rokslide shift to smallest caliber and cartridges?

    The point is, smaller cartridges are easier to shoot well. Obviously nobody is going to shoot 100 times at an elk. But a cartridge/rifle combo that allows the shooter to knock out 100 shots in a row gives you 10 times as much practice as a cartridge that you can shoot 10 times in a row before...

    Which Bullets to use? ELD-m "Murder bullets" for everything?

    Not sure how this immediately devolved into a discussion about shooting a giraffe with a nose-ring dtac, neither of those was mentioned in the OP. To the op, you said most of your shots are at 150 or less. Do you shoot targets at longer ranges than that? I personally would go with a corelokt or...
