Bongo in the Congo...Giant Eland in Texas ( so I can eat all that wonderful meat )

Sir, you have "Misplaced allegiance"..."just following orders" is for those who would follow unconstitutional orders...and yes I know whereof I speak...VN & DS-DS

Africa has Cape Buffalo...Water Buffalo would be Australia or Asia What a Coues!!!

Bongo in the Congo...Giant Eland in Texas ( so I can keep the wonderful meat )

Dead is dead whether with a bullet or bowling ball dropped out of a 747. The reality is which will you shoot better because bullet placement makes all the difference. A lot of male egos on here will show billfold target groups at 800 or 1,000 yards shot from a bench or prone but...single digit %...

Another important factor is your aim point ... are you a heart-lung guy or a shoulder-spine man? Resistance is much different between these two kill zones. Remember IF Velocity was required for penetration to the vitals...300 fps arrows would not kill!!

The Swede has sufficient velocity...actually excessive velocity reduces penetration as the bullets impact velocity can set up a hydrostatic bow wave of blood & and lymph liquids that actually make the tissue harder to passthrough ...think of how velocity effects the resistance of a falling...

First DEFINE your problem before requesting solutions...i.e. what is the purpose for the new rifle? animals/ranges/walking rifle or blind rifle

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Amen...each chamber also has its size tolerances and will effect fired case dimensions. With the same brass that had perfect consistency possibly firing a normal load and miking expansion vs a heavy load expansion would have some validity BUT the...

...............................................................................................................CNS- shoulder/spine/brain hits produce more DRT than heart/lung hits. Heart/lung results differ depending on what the heart was doing at the moment of impact i.e. if the heart was in...

David Tubbs (yes a TEXAN) is also the best rifleman in the know universe. His solution is Final Finish AND IT ADDRESSES THE CHAMBER LEADS/THROAT.

Not good analogies sir...thus poor logic drawn from them...a bit scattered also. I don't want to attack you but, I do want new hunters to question this opinion you espoused.

With modern bullets...the 6mm performance is what the 7mm used to be...a flinch will ensure poor shot placement for a 13 year old girl or a 40 year old male. Unless you want to down load a lot of practice loads and then stick in a hot one on her...6mm OH, shorten the stock to fit her and have a...
