Looks like it would hold a golf ball well. There is your challenge

Reloader 17, h4350 is a little slower but in the ballpark. 26” barrel

My 260ai is running 3045 with the 140 hybrids.

I definitely shoot my 260ai a lot more than the AM, but that AM just is fun to shoot way out there.

I’d definitely take a crack at a coyote at a mile with my 338am. Though I’ve shot it a good bit farther.

That seems hard to evaluate being some of us live east coast and shoot in minimal wind compared to you guys out west. How would that difference be accounted for? I see wind as being the biggest challenge and taking 100 shots on targets on a range protected from the wind being an unfair advantage.

I think you missed what I was getting at, you don’t take 100 shots on game in such a short time frame as how he set up this challenge. How many years would it take to harvest 100 antelope?

But who is shooting 100 rounds at a single animal in that short amount of time. If we go for realistic, no more than 5 shots getting progressively farther away.

This is more of a test of endurance shooting than proving anything for hunting. Here it would take 17 years to kill 100 deer. I’d shoot the rifle meant for this game and it would be that 6br or x47.

He is going to try 130otm and 140 hybrid box bergers and if they aren’t his liking, handloads. He also said if the lighter guns didn’t shoot he’d take his heavier guns and hit the gym more.

I would but my road trips usually consists of driving to my destination and back, only stopping for fuel and bathroom in 26hrs. And it seems most places are closed when I go through on the weekends or in the dark (I would say night but I usually start the trip late afternoon).

They’d be a little heavier then. We usually say about 74% live weight is dressed weight, but that is with the skin, feet, head.

30-40 pound live weight

That's a 58" gun in there with about 2” extra at the butt end. Kirby sent my rifle to me in this case when I got it 12 years ago.

What’s the velocity difference?
