[QUOTE="lloydsmale, post: 854711, member: 41442"] I guess if a post is confusing its this one. Heck i dont even know what intrinsically means!! Im not an english teacher im a hunter and shooter. My questioning the 240 comes from all the internet experts that claim it strikes deer like a lightning bolt. Point it in the general direction and it kills cuts and wraps and even cooks it. I found it not to be true. I found it was not in the same league as the 257wby, 264 mag ect. that is the controversy i was addressing. You think i dont know an 06 will kill a deer? In fact i got little responses back that actually addressed personal experiences with the 240. Mostly guys that never shot one that think they magicaly know what bullet is needed in one and post from guys that answer every question about what gun or load to use by saying you need to use barnes bullets. Most of them who have shot maybe a half a dozen deer with them if that. Or posts like yours that add no educational benifit. Just criticiizim. Did i know the answer before the post or even before i tried the 240. Probably. But after reading for years that the 240 does slam down deer better then something like an o6 i figured id give it a run myself and all i did was tell the guys here that i found it isnt true and that shooting a bonded bullet or a tsx isnt going to change it. Its a good gun for what it is. Its not the hammer of thor. Its not a rifle id ever consider taking out after an elk. I know its been done but theres much better rifles in the safe for that. I appologize if sharing my REAL WORLD experiences bothers you. But it is what it is. [/QUOTE]
