    Help Understanding Energy, Distance, and Angled Shots

    Thanks for this info. I will sift through all those posts and watch the podcast. I have started digging through the last link and it has good info. I only have a picture of the lungs but the entrance wound was about the size of a ping pong ball. I am planning to switch to hammer bullets and/or...

    Help Understanding Energy, Distance, and Angled Shots

    Looking around I was under the impression 1800 fps is the lowest fps for good expansion on copper?

    Help Understanding Energy, Distance, and Angled Shots

    So to give some context on my question, I was shooting a 6.5cm with Barnes 127 grain lrx bullet. I had created my dope chart out to 400 yards at 0 degrees based on StrelockPro app. I ranged a cow elk at 410 yards, angle corrected. With estimated angle at 30 degrees, it was a steep canyon. Shot...

The true distance is then some where around 580 yards based on trig calculations. Now does my bullet impact the target...

    CA Mesa Stock Swap to Stocky VG2

    Just to update fully: had to shave down mag box a good amount and add a spacer to the font and back action screws in order to allow the mag box to wiggle properly. Even with that the back bottom metal inlet was not perfectly flush while the front of the bottom metal inlet sits slightly lower. CA...

    CA Mesa Stock Swap to Stocky VG2

    In case any one else comes along looking for this info: I had to file down the mag release, shorten the forward action screw, and remove a little material in the bolt handle slot.

    CA Mesa Stock Swap to Stocky VG2

    I have a CA Mesa in 6.5CM with a Stocky UltraLite Carbon Fiber VG2 arriving tomorrow. I have been digging around the forums but I want to confirm that it should be an easy drop in swap except for some filing at the bolt release? CA action screws should fit? Torque action screws to 60 in/lb with...
