    Is a 30 cal big game rifle needed anymore?

    Late chime in. I thought we all knew this information as hunters and other weapons professionals. How we interpret it that seems to be different. I’ve never heard or read the advocates for low caliber, low recoil, high fragmenting bullets state energy does not exist. The “advocates” have...

    .223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.

    Who really knows right, but it’s reported that large physically animals like bears their heart rates are much slower then prey so muscle and brain can still function a bit longer since is still oxygenated. If it’s true, then t-Rex could still munch awhile tho dead for a bit. My plan, set up...

    .223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.

    Gold star on the homework! Lungs above heart is interesting, need a good windage call or nice brain hit. But how thick is its chest compared to a bear? This might be the perfect proof the 223/77 can penetrate a skull! Yes i kinda missed the tons of meat to pack out! Think we need the whole...

    .223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.

    May I come? We could pick off those pesky little velociraptors that escape the fence. I’ll use my 223/77 I like the insurance of a little more ft pounds than an arrow. Maybe Form could use a handicap with me there, my toddlers old daisy Red Ryder, but to be fair it pulls left.

    A 223 w/77 tmk, specifically have taken oddles if big game - pigs, deer and elk, one elk at 803 yards by Form of course. Thegman takes the holy grail threshold of “enough” gun for general big game by taking a medium grizzly with a not ideal shot and it drops dead in 50 yards… yet questions of...

    Fixing a Flinch

    Agree with everyone advice. Light recoil practice for fundamentals, then confirmation with the recoil, repeat. One new thing…. If shooting the hard recoiling, just use a 3’x3’ target until you can fire a full box of ammo smiling. Just hit the target. I find small dots also create pressure...

    Enough gun?

    “Last I heard – 1,000 ft lbs was a good “minimal” number for deer out yonder. Elk? 1,500 ft lbs – not at the muzzle – but down range at impact. I’m NOT putting down anyone’s choice of cartridge. I am saying, there are cartridges that meet (& exceed) those numbers, downrange where it really...
