    Africa Packing

    You need way less clothes than you think. Your laundry is done daily. I would take two outfits total. Then a few layers for mornings when it is cool. I would only take one pair of boots. If those fail, use your tennis shoes. The chance of boots failing are so low

    Is a 30 cal big game rifle needed anymore?

    Use round numbers. Percentages still work out. Energy = mass x velocity ^2 energy = 10 x 10 ^2 energy = 1000 Let’s change mass 10% Energy = 11 x 10^2 Energy = 1100 Let’s change velocity 10% Energy = 10 x 11^2 Energy = 1210 I think I learned this in 2nd grade

    Is a 30 cal big game rifle needed anymore?

    Is a 30 cal big game rifle needed anymore?

    Yeah but you’ve missed the point again. Velocity has more of an impact because it is squared. Also a bullet that pencils through puts most of its energy in the dirt on the backside of the animal.

    Is a 30 cal big game rifle needed anymore?

    I’ve always thought if the bullet doesn’t pass through it dumps all of the energy in the target. If it does pass through it doesn’t. For killing game it’s all about tissue damage, mainly by bullet fragmenting or mushrooming and tearing blood vessels. Much less on energy dump. I think only time...

    Thoughts on this load for whitetail deer in southeast. Most shots 100-300 yards. I have it dialed in running 3400 for coyote, just wondering your thoughts.
