.223, 6mm, and 6.5 failures on big game

I’ve developed a trick that gets an animal to turn - I talk about the technique over in the “Accubond Failures” thread. *chuckle*

lol @ accubond failures.

I mostly agree with you so I don't mean this in a smart-ass way, but if you'd actually like to see this done for the sake of real data contribution, I'll do it.

@35WhelenAI reached out and we are working on finding a time in the next few months to shoot together. Still have some elk & lions to chase this season, but once the snow stops getting deeper we'll be getting out there. I'm going to try to get 2 other Roksliders there as well that I shoot & hunt with regularly.

Thanks for the offer though, if you can find a few members up there and shoot like-rifles in different calibers please post your results.

I can loan you my 8# 416 Rigby for this "shoot". You won't need more than 1 round per person though!

The more I read of this debate the more I feel as though this mythical 'insurance' of large calibers is just a euphemism for I don't ever turn down a shot regardless of angle or likelihood of a positive outcome.
