Form struck someone’s nerve
I don’t disagree with you. Valid points for sure. -

Form struck someone’s nerve
I dunno about this part… The guys that are running 308/270/708 etc are likely still using a conventional controlled expansion hunting bullet simply by virtue of what is available on the LGS shelf. Not that there is anything wrong with that, I just personally believe that in the event of a fringe... -

Form struck someone’s nerve
And that is where you are wrong. The anger towards JVB isn’t because he disagrees with Form, it’s because all 3 of his podcasts around small cartridges (that I listened to at any rate) are proclaiming loudly that guys who do it aren’t ethical, that we are lying about our results and wounding... -

Form struck someone’s nerve
No, you aren’t wrong in your choice, you are just more righterer. I stopped using a 300 Ultra with 168/180/200 gr mono’s, when I shot a couple bulls with a 280AI and 150gr mono’s and the wound channels were virtually indistinguishable from each other. Critters died in the same amount of time... -

Form struck someone’s nerve
I hunt solo 90%+ of the time. I carried a 22 centerfire 100% of the season this year, starting with spring bears through to backpacking stone sheep trip, then Haida Gwaii, then a bull elk, then a bull moose. Predominantly a 223AI with 88 ELD m. Only variation was going to a 223 with 77TMK on... -

Form struck someone’s nerve
So why are you on Rokslide thread about small calibers then, if a good ol' Remchester 3006 will do it all in your neck of the woods? Making an educated guess based on your critter line up, Region 6? And more importantly, why do you care what someone else uses for a rifle and cartridge combo? I... -

Form struck someone’s nerve
All you guys that listened to JVB's podcast(s) and found issue with them, you know you can leave a review and a comment on the podcast, right? I mean, it isn't hard to hang onto a 4.9 out of 5 rating if the only guys who are leaving a review are the ones who kill thousands of animals a year in... -

.223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.
If’n there were ever any at either of those places I would already have slicked them up…. I don’t mind loading at all, but I run those through my Raven and would prefer factory loaded. -

How many have missed animals due to a failed scope?
Only one I’ve missed due to scope failure was a groundhog when I was a kid. Missed by feet, and pissed off Dad until he tried a shot. Had a few really unlucky animals though that should have been misses. First whitetail was climbing a 45* cutbank and stopped. Held behind his shoulder at 100... -

What caused the Rokslide shift to smallest caliber and cartridges?
The AI capacity increase is negligible. Just looks cooler and reduces case trimming. For me the shooting is the fun part, and follow up with a 223 is FAST when the crosshairs don’t leave the animal when you rack a second round. Two moose were immediately down at the shot (the little bulls)... -

Moose ribs after onside shoulder lifted off. -

What caused the Rokslide shift to smallest caliber and cartridges?
Mooses were: 151 yards both shoulder knuckles broken, bullet under the hide. Immediately down. 172 yards, onside shoulder knuckle smashed, bullet exit at last rib. (I think. It was dark and I was solo) 2 nd round a few seconds later as he was falling, straight through both lungs and exited... -

What caused the Rokslide shift to smallest caliber and cartridges?
Impact velocities ranged from 2440 to 2307 on 2 moose and the elk, and 2007 on the smaller bull moose. 3/4 had either both shoulder knuckles broken at the scapula base, or a single (quartering in versus broadside) and the 1 bull had 15” of spine smashed when he was facing me. That one got the... -

What caused the Rokslide shift to smallest caliber and cartridges?
How much damage a bullet does in the animal matters FAR more than the bullets diameter or weight, and that is dictated by construction/impact velocity/twist rate. A 0.224” 77TMK or 88 ELD m through the guts will be lethal much faster than a 0.338 TTSX with the same placement. -

What caused the Rokslide shift to smallest caliber and cartridges?
The only thing that matters are bullets, bullets, and bullets, in roughly that order. -

Advice needed - cold bore issue, maybe?
Pull the scope tonight. Pull the rings. Inspect for cracks.
