Thanks. If you're willing to ship to Canada, I'll take it. Just not sure which belt I want yet. What buckle system does that medium belt have? Would you be able to take a pic of it? Feel free to PM me.
Sure. When it comes to killing, assuming ideal shot placement and sufficient penetration to reach vitals, what matters is the amount of fragmentation and the frontal surface area of the expanded bullet. Except for how it relates to the size of the expanded bullet, caliber means nothing...
Yes. 30" barrel.
Have a good evening, I've also had enough.
EDIT: You must see the difference between shooting game animals with a tipped, expanding bullet like the ELD, and a solid, non-expanding bullet like the Flatline...
Broz,
Respectfully, I do not doubt that you hit 3200 fps with the 230. What I question is at what pressure you're running to get there. You're right, with custom reamer specs, nobody knows for sure if you're running within the SAAMI max pressure limit of the chambering unless you've had your...
Who said a rifle needs to be limited to 10 lbs to kill game at LR? That's a limitation you're imposing on everyone. Some people don't need to haul their rifles very far to shoot elk at LR.
I have validated the 180, and it matches up very close to the 0.796 advertised, IME.
You seem intent on...
BTDT with 7mm and .30 rifles on various species.
If we're going big, then why stop at .338, why not straight to the .50BMG? I've not witnessed any elk killed with the .50, but I have to believe it'd do quite a number on them at distance.
We have far fewer elk up here than you do down there, so the majority of my experience has been with other species- moose, MD, WT, bear, caribou, sheep, antelope, etc. There are some elk kills at LR mixed in there as well, but there's really nothing all that special about elk. So my opinions...
Ad Hominem attacks aren't an effective way to make your point...
I'm not epic and I don't hump any legs- I'm just not into the American ".30 cal is the best eva! MERICA!" mentality that some guys buy into.
But if you have any solid answers or rebuttals to what I've said, I'm happy to hear you...
Fair enough, but even you must admit that's not a large enough sample to make any concrete statements about terminal performance.
I'm not saying distance doesn't matter when it comes to terminal performance, I'm saying that if you're comparing the terminal performance between two calibers, you...
