[QUOTE="orkan, post: 2525960, member: 25377"] Long ago I remember it vividly when I cracked the code of unbelievable ballistic effects when running light bullets in fast twist barrels. You can render a prairie dog into bits no larger than a dime by running a 50gr V-max in an 8 twist 22-250. If that bullet comes in contact with so much as a blade of grass, it will detonate. Pointless to use on coyotes, as it will virtually guarantee a splash wound. Conversely, a 52gr SMK is ruthless on coyotes in an 8 twist due to its heavier construction. It detonates the same, but does so inside the coyote for lightning strike kills. It probably goes without saying that the horrific wind performance of the little bullets means I will certainly stick with heavy bullets with those fast twist rifles. However, for specific things where fun is more important than consistent impacts at longer ranges... the fast twist light bullet combo can not be beat. The most savage impacts I've ever witnessed. Large overbore wildcats can accomplish similar things in 6, 6.5, and 7mm on much larger animals. ----------- [URL='https://www.instagram.com/primalrights']Follow on Instagram[/URL] [URL='https://www.youtube.com/user/primalrights']Subscribe on YouTube[/URL] [URL='https://amzn.to/3txlBnp']Amazon Affiliate[/URL] [URL='http://www.primalrights.com'][IMG]http://primalrights.com/images/signatures/sig1.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [/QUOTE]
