    Ill way in, the original statement on his Halloween pod cast (according to him) was 100% of shots on game, not 100 shots. So…,,,,

    barrel lengths per cartridge decisions

    “Both are possible, but more by case design?” Case design is huge regarding efficiency and velocity. Think venturi, rocket nozzles, etc.

    barrel lengths per cartridge decisions

    Kinda sorta, I use longer barrels to help the efficiency of slower burning powders, think velocity in terms of pressure over time. Slower powders have potential to produce higher velocities. Large volume cases have potential to hold a larger volume of powder. More slower powder burning over a...

    barrel lengths per cartridge decisions

    "Why some have 14" barrels for long action magnum cartridges gets me questioning why?" If your still referencing rifles, and not hand guns I'll have to agree, it seems odd to me also that someone would NFA a magnum chambered LA hunting rifle. Is there a link to this post/thread? Id like to read...

    A Baffling Buffet of Bullets

    how long should I wait between shots? I wait until the barrel is cool to the touch (ambient) before starting another group. You might consider cleaning the barrel between groups while its cooling. Your style, your decision. IMO, the first shot, cold shot, clean shot, is the most important...

    Electric Tracked Wheelchair

    I have a colleague who hunts with his fried who has ALS and one of these track chairs, Together they hunt a piece of woods across the road in a ground blind. The way this thread started mentioning a 7 mile range I was under the impression they were heading into the wilderness for Elk.
