Just above, on the spine of the scapula. Bullet fragmented and destroyed the shoulder, didn't make it into the rib cage though. I've seen weird stuff happen with great bullets like Nosler Partitions too - deflections are rare, but they do happen!

Correct. Verified on recovery... Some people keep shooting until they are down I guess 🤷‍♂️ Range was just over 100, impact vel 2600ish.

Bullet performance is dependent on design, yes, but it also changes with impact velocity. I get the sense that your criticisms here relate to 'normal' range hunting, yet on the first page you answered '700-800yds'. Meat waste is mainly a shot placement thing but Yes, shoot a soft bullet at...

If you're looking for a bullet that's good from point blank to 1000yds, there are goona be some tradeoffs. Tough bullets that retain a lot of weight can struggle to open at lower velocities. If you can be honest with us/yourself about what kind of distances you are shooting, there are some...

Fixed it for ya, 🍻 Happy Friday all, Sorry for the hijack, OP - good luck in your quest 👍

Don't beat yourself up about it - perfect lesson to learn on Hornady brass 😜

100% - good advice on both counts

This cannot be overstated. Remarkably, odds of going missing drop dramatically for those who travel with -firearm -personal locator beacon (in reach/spot etc) Source; https://m.youtube.com/user/canammissingproject

I wish it had a groove or ledge in the forend like the Clymer, but no Tikka inlet for that one. Tikka inlet option for Rokstock is an awesome option! Fair enough. Looks like it was designed in the dark 🤣🤣🤣

Courage is knowing something will hurt, but doing it anyways. Stupidity is the same. Knowledge isn't free, you have to pay attention. When all is said and done, a lot more gets said than done!

I have tried a bunch of different packs over the years. Currently have a K3 4800 and a Stone Glacier 7900. If I were in the market for a new pack, K4 all the way! 👍

This thread appears to originate from 2021, so it's likely the OP is well on his way. But for posterity, I will add that RL23 is very close to RL22 in burn rate and bulk density, but has the advantage of being relatively insensitive to temperature.
