    Ultralight Ultralight Rifles

    You don't need penetration byond the vitals but a bullet that only penetrates to the vitals in a lab will often fail in the real world. If your angle is a little off, if you want to go through the shoulder, if the animal moves a drop, a bullet that penetrates minimally will often fail under...

    Ultralight Ultralight Rifles

    I would expect good penetration at 400 as it has likely dropped below its explosive threshold, but the pic makes it look like maybe it hasn't? I can't tell if it stopped at 10.5 or continued. My resolution here is not very good, sorry.

    I actually did know what he meant, but I didn't want to let him off that easily, sorry:-) I know none of you guys know me but part of my job for the past 25 years or so has involved ballistics, so I'm pretty familiar with the different schools of thought. I do not keep up with every bullet made...

    Ultralight Ultralight Rifles

    That's an interesting take given the extreme success my friends and I have had with sucky monos. We do prefer lighter for caliber monos though.

    I've always liked TSX or TTSX bullets, and would assume the 70g tsx would do well, but I have not tried it. I'll pick up some 77 tmk and see how it does.

    Any factory loads for the 77 tmk, or handloading only? I have not looked at that big thread in detail...does the bullet penetrate reliably, or are people looking for Berger like fragmentation? I prefer deep penetration.

    I've had a 3x version for a few years now. Works well and does what I ask of it. It has been on a 300BLK Rattler, as well as a few 5.56 pistols and carbines. No drama.

    Ultralight Ultralight Rifles

    I bought a faxon and a gas block so I have something to shoot while waiting for the companies to make what i want. My thought was that I shoot out an AR barrel almost every year so it won't last long anyway. After ordering it, I realized it was for a bolt gun, so no way will I shoot it out in a...

    How long a handguard do you need to cover the faxon barrel's mid length gas journal?

    It seems to be a bit heavier, afaict. I would really prefer no gas journal or port, but the wait may defeat me.

    My build is starting to come together, just really need a barrel. Shaw said no.

    Ultralight Ultralight Rifles

    Interesting stuff, thank you. Is that stocky's stock lighter than the factory plastic? Unrelated but I picked up a WC NULA last year. It is similar to my original NULA, but better in some ways and worse in others. Overall a very nice rifle for the money.

    Can you post some pics and details on that Tikka? I'd be very interested in converting one of mine.

    Ultralight Ultralight Rifles

    I don't disagree with you guys in theory, but in practice, my lightweight precision rifles still hold .5 moa for me, just like my heavyweight rifles do. I'm using precision rifles as an example, as the accuracy is a known quantity, unlike the ultralight AR's or other builds. Bartlein, Lilja and...

    Ultralight Ultralight Rifles

    I think you will find that the weight of the rifle is the issue, not the recoil. Unless you are actually flinching or losing your position too much from it. The weight is what allows for any movement from trigger pull to bullet exit to be damped, recoil occurs after the bullet leaves the barrel...

    Ultralight Ultralight Rifles

    What rifle is that? My complaints about the RR may not be yours. That said, the metalwork and stock work was a bit sloppy, certainly not a top smith's work, though he certainly charged as if it was. The skeletonized bolt handle was a bit painful to work at speed, making practice tough. The...

    I used it for a few years then sold it. I found it to be a very inferior rifle for a rifleman.
