6 ARC ammunition

[TimberHunter]

This is not the cartridge for a 600y shot on an elk.. Recommended minimum impact energy is 1500 ft-lbs, and while that's a suggestion... You really are going to want something close to that, or you're just going to wound the animal.

Sorry but 1500 ft lbs of energy is a made up requirements by the gun magazine writers. Research all the elk/deer/moose/etc being shot at 200-800 yards with a 223 and 77TMK. At the muzzle the 223 doesn’t even produce 1500lbs

It's published on CO Wildlife and Parks website... And while I said it's a suggestion, it's a pretty good one. I've seen a bull take 4 shots of .308 to the vitals with a 168 TTSX at 400y (1600 ft lbs on impact) and keep going.

A 6 ARC isnt going to get the job done at 600y, neither is a 223...not with any reliability. If it does at 600y, it's pure luck.

Your friends need to learn how to shoot.

Also you literally just illustrated that energy is irrelevant lol.

The wound channel on that 308 is 3 times the size of the 223. That's what increased caliber & energy does on impact. Sounds like you donn't know much about that though. Probably why you think it's a good idea to shoot a pencil size hole in a 700+ lb animal...which is what a 77 TMK does below 1800 fps.

You sound like a real jackass... So you probably didn't even know that .223 is illegal for elk in quite a few states. So please, keep shooting it, so you can get arrested and have that PoS rifle of yours confiscated.

I guess you went to public school if you if you think .30 is three times the size of .224. take some remedial math classes and come back to us.

The wound channel genius...and I did go to public school. WTF does that have to do with anything?

You referring to the wound channel that's larger from a TMK or M in pretty much any cartridge than your 308 TTSX? Too bad your friends can't shoot or you could've measured how small it was.

There's a saying... It's better to stay quiet and be thought of as a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

Try to remember that next time, so you don't leave another word salad like this one.
