This could be entertaining.......
Apparently so, as are a number of others I guess.Ryan is a pea shooter?
The B.C. is bad, but we get by......Apparently so, as are a number of others I guess.
I feel sad for you because I was once just like you.Weak! Dude cmon. A freaking.25-06! You pea shooter guys have a cliché answer for everything. That is NOT an ethical elk caliber and you know it! And so far you’re the only one who used the word magnum. Nobody here said that is necessary.
I would…I would shoot 115 bergers and it would die in short order.Would you take a 25’06 on a DIY grizzly hunt, provided you were an AK resident? My afognak bull would outweigh any interior grizzly. But I wouldn’t use the 25 in any location for either animal. Using a piss ant chambering, taking poor shots or limiting your shot opportunity doesn’t seem like the best way to hunt elk. Using a popgun to stroke your ego or to inflate your “whatever “ on some forum, isn’t impressing people.
back to my question: hell no you wouldn’t shoot a grizz with a 25’06, not when there’s a good chance of getting your ass chewed off. But,a crippled bull won’t bite you… to me, a bull elk is tougher than any of the bears I’ve been around in Washington and Alaska.
Another way to look at it is a 25-06 with 115-120 grain bullets is fully capable of anything you’d sensibly do with a 270 Win and 130 grain bullets of the same type. I have not found any difference in efficacy between 25-06, 260, 270 or 280. They have all resulted in quickly dead elk. That said I generally use my 270 or 280.I have never killed an elk with a 25-06.
2 with 30-06
2 with 270
1 with 308 win
1 300 win mag
No difference for me in effectiveness.
Ranges 60 to 310 yards.
6 elk or 60 still can't paint a perfect picture in every scenario.
Actually pulling isn’t the problem stopping is.You can also pull a trailer with a Subaru.
I never said you needed a 1 ton diesel. (Magnum)
But it’s much safe to go to a half ton pickup so you don’t wreck. (Unrecovered elk)
Yes you can pull a little utility trailer with a Subaru. (Deer)
But a horse trailer (elk) will run you over.
Even if you keep the Subaru between the lines (placement)
It just doesn’t have the horsepower (energy)
So now tell me that the pea shooter guys are marksmen and guys with bigger guns miss all the time. Don’t worry there are many of us who can keep a truck between the lines. Theres a tool for every job. Why put a screw in with a butter knife which we can all tell success stories about, when you could use a freaking screwdriver! Why???
Exactly right! Stopping is the problem. If you hit my truck (heavy bone) from behind the Subaru will stop dead. I’ll turn the radio down and say what was that? The truck (elk) will survive.Actually pulling isn’t the problem stopping is.
What is the official list for pea shooter to over compensate club.
Being a shitty driver kinda like a shitty shot.Exactly right! Stopping is the problem. If you hit my truck(heavy bone) from behind the Subaru will stop dead. The truck(elk) will survive. But if I hit a Subaru from behind with my truck it will barely slow down. The driver will get whiplash and I’ll push him right through the intersection. Good point.
