6mm 95gr NBTs will perform very well for anything he might point it at up to brown bear. I didn't work up MVs for the powders mentioned, but with A-4350 or Ramshot Hunter you should attain 3100 fps pretty easily from the standard 22" barrel. That will yield trajectory of +1.5/-2.6" from 0-250...

I didn't even catch the shooter's name. My comment was based on the quality and accuracy of History Channel shows going steadily downhill over the years in an attempt to grab a piece of the "reality TV" type of audience.. When the "History" Channel started airing shows claiming the Nazca Lines...

I'm apparently skewed by my experience. In the area where I've hunted since age 16 (41 now) one most often simply doesn't have time to throw range finder glass on the animal, bring the rifle up, click turrets...the deer is already moving again, into the timber, brush, or behind a terrace, into...

Wait...I think I heard a hatchet being buried below. Make that two. Thonk. Always a good sound. :) Maybe that's my mistake for assuming the audience was strictly members of this forum. Yes, people do Google, find information, and then use it inappropriately sometimes. So if there are such...

I'm not in the tank for Barnes or any other bullet maker. I just like their .30 110gr TTSX due to the ultra flat shooting it can bring to .30 rifles, and most importantly, with good terminal performance on medium game. Prior to this premium bullet all I found in this weight class were...

I find it difficult to understand how one human being can treat another with respect while trying to have an honest discussion on the merits, while the other is completely uncivil and acts like a child... Yes, I discovered JBM three days or so ago. I got tired of doing calculations "by hand"...

The unnofficial scoring guides use different nomenclature than the official B&C guides I assume in order to prevent confusion about who scored what and if the score is official B&C. For instance: Scoring Your Whitetail Buck There aren't any bucks large enough where I hunt that would justify...

I've never taken a running shot freehand outside PBR, which is probably why I've never missed one. On the flip side, when I was young I missed plenty of long (for me at that time) stationary shots due to misjudging range. So don't think I'm saying I've never missed shots. Proof point... Todd...

Of course not. The point of this is that people trust the .308 Win 180gr combo at 500 yds for elk. This demonstrates that the 300 WSM 110 TTSX combo has virtually the same energy at 500, making it just as suitable as the 308/180 TTSX. I think the Berger VLDs are probably some of the best...

It may not be personal, but it's an attack nonetheless. gun) If there is such a thing as a "curriculum vitae" post being required to establish one's chops here, I guess this will be mine, as you've challnged my credentials. The external and terminal ballistics and analysis and comparisons I've...

I've witnessed on at least 6 occasions the taking of bucks and does of all sizes at 400+ yards with a 22-250. That is Jamie's weapon of choice for whitetails due to the laser flat trajectory. To add insult to injury, he uses the 50 gr Win BST, which is the exploding varmint variant in .224...

I certainly did not intend to generate such controversy when I posted the accomplishments of these young women. I am not advocating taking 700 yard shots at elk with a .243 Winchester whether using Berger's VLDs or not. Early in this thread I advised the OP that the Barnes 110 or 130gr TTSX...

Why didn't you watch the video?

For all of you "go heavy or stay home" types, I present evidence against that Neanderthal view of caliber vs kill. Teenage girl drops elk cow at 688 yds with 105 Gr VLD .243 Win: Interesting Vid - Girl pole axes elk at 688y with a 105g VLD in a .243 Win - Georgia Outdoor News Forum Another...

Never mind, found JBM, which is pretty nice BTW.
