    Pemmican: My way

    Usually I just use powdered meat and Wagyu beef tallow. Sometimes I add a little powdered strawberry. I use it as a primary snack since I'm allergic to eggs and peanuts, and not interested in high carbs, all of which are often found in snack bars and other camp snacks. Best so far is with a...

    Tough Doe, Long (successful) Search. Slightly Poor Shot. 6.5 147 ELD-M.

    Wish I did. It was after midnight by the time I got her up to my warehouse due to a bunch of issues (tree knocked out the power at our remote hunt club; had to drive miles for ice. etc., etc.). I also had another man's deer I promised to take care of and gut (was supposed to drop it off at the...

    6.5 Creedmoor/260 for Deer, Elk, and whatever else.....

    147gr ELD-M. Slightly poor shot placement or rare poor bullet performance? Probably both. Directly broadside. 8" behind the crease, vertically midline up the body entry, 4" lower exit (see drawings). 160 yards, ~2450 fps. Shot a large doe on a powerline . Only blood was at the POI on the...

    Does Energy have the potential to affect terminal performance?

    Totally predictable. Apology accepted.

    Does Energy have the potential to affect terminal performance?

    You've been an easy read from the start. Sort of like a dumb AI troll. Easy to predict you would conclude that.

    Tough Doe, Long (successful) Search. Slightly Poor Shot. 6.5 147 ELD-M.

    She was getting enough air to aimlessly wander hundreds of yards, perhaps thousands, depending on how accurate my tracker was. Tough girl. I'm a bit shocked by the ELD-M holding together like that. Expected a nice splashy pass through.

    Tough Doe, Long (successful) Search. Slightly Poor Shot. 6.5 147 ELD-M.

    Shot a large doe last night on a powerline. 180 yards just before last legal light (6.5 147 ELD-M, 2400 fps). Couldn't see which way she ran. Shot entered about the vertical halfway point, about 6 inches behind the crease. Exit was a little lower on the other side, about the size of a quarter...

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

    Kinetic energy IS in all practicality useless if it is not necessary or cancels to zero in the actual equation. And the actual equation here is performance in game. Present in that equation is energy transfer (not original bullet kinetic energy) to the game, but (though there is an upper bound...

    You're just obtuse. That's the source of the push back...trying to move you back on track. You're muddying waters that took hundreds of pages to clear, and for no useful reason. Additionally, dick moves like mocking and calling folks "cool kids" makes you unwelcome, and it's all based on your...

    Unlike most scope companies, they obviously read Rokslide. 👌😁

    Weather / conditions in your area

    Lowcountry of South Carolina, 6 inches of rain last night and today (measured)! Massive flooding. Left church at high tide and water was up above my "waterproof" boots in the parking lot, just below my needs. Ate my Sunday dinner at Mom's barefoot with wet jeans rolled up. Chuck roast pot pie...
