.223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.
So what do you think creates these wounds? Without mass and velocity they would not happen. KE is just a calculation making an attempt to describe the work a moving object is capable of. 1800 fps, 77 gr. bullet possess a calculated 558 foot pounds of KE. How the bullet applies that is what... -

Large caliber vs. small caliber debate
I will sacrifice some energy every time for a good leaky exit hole. That is in situations where brush is thick or night hunting. Hunting open areas an exit hole is not necessary. If the applied energy is adequate then that used exiting has no effect other than letting outside air in and blood out. -

Hah you seem to prove his point. How have you been insulted by my posts? -

I have few brakes. I do like linear compensators. Most of my rifles have nothing but a crown. -

I said good luck. Your comment has nothing to do with quantifying KE. -

Rechambering Rem 700LA 270Win for lower recoil and great "heavy for caliber" hunting performance. What caliber?
Rebarrel it to the same cartridge but with a faster twist. Personally I would go 280AI or 6.5-06 with a fast enough twist to handle the bullets you want to shoot. -

Large caliber vs. small caliber debate
I hunt hogs at night after deer season. Some years I take a hundred hogs. Virtually all are shot unsupported while standing. with the rifle resting on my left thumb and a spotlight in that hand. Shots taken are usually under 100 yards. I have used many different cartridges in this endeavor. My... -

I would argue that muzzle blast can affect some shooters worse than recoil. Depends what a person is sensitive to. -

Large caliber vs. small caliber debate
In that hypothesis the cartridge has no overt effect on the accuracy of the shot. It is all on the shooter. Some would say a rifle pushing a heavier bullet of good construction, say the 140gr. Nosler Partition started at a mild 2700 fps has an edge in usable shot angles and penetration over a... -

Seems odd that recoil energy is taken so seriously yet Kinetic energy is regularly dismissed as useless. Both are figured with the same formulae. -

Large caliber vs. small caliber debate
The dumbest aspect is thinking those who shoot heavier recoiling rifles don't also shoot lighter recoiling rifles. I don't take my 270 coyote hunting though I have killed coyotes with it while hunting other species. My coyote rifles comprise of a 243, a 6Grendle, a 223, and a 22-250. I generally... -

Aren't all rifles sighted in while recoiling? If the shooter is not one to flinch while shooting his rifle, whatever it is chambered for and the rifle is properly sighted in then recoil doesn't matter does it? -

He did not say he had a "higher" hit rate. He said with his first shot he had an equal hit rate. -

Figure it out. Do some testing, use something quantifiable that will satisfy those with a limited ability to grasp. do it with identical pieces of mass and then do it with objects of different mass but the same calculated KE drawn from velocity and mass. Good luck finding someone here that has... -

Outstanding. You are carrying a load there. -

.223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.
It is but it is impossible to accurately measue the volume caused by the dumping of the intangible quantity KE as it collapses in on itself. -

.223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.
KE is just a calculation based on mass and velocity. Hashed out what? It is obvious that the 223 with the right bullets has adequate velocity/mass/energy to kill. Nowhere have I said otherwise. -

.223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.
Using energy as a calculation to measure the volume created by mass and velocity does give an idea of it's capability. And it's true that clay in itself does not directly correlate to tissue disruption it does give you a way to compare what different bullets are capable of as far as moving...
