In your previous statement you stated: "WE do cool the chamber and barrel by both a huge surface area (>300%) and active air flow thru the barrel." Can you help me understand how much of the cooling is due to the surface area vs the airflow through the barrel? And how much ambient air flows...

Well some body is wrong; not exactly sure who. Have done a fair amount of reading on this subject and while it is true that carbon fibers can conduct an appreciable amount of heat, but to do so the strands have to be perpendicular to the surface that one wants to conduct heat away from. The...

Why do we have to resort to name calling or maybe we are just trying to be funny - one of the issues with the printed word - one can never be sure of one's intentions - just because someone has different beliefs, thoughts, training and experiences than you do. Some of us grew up with elk and...

One of the few I have seen.

My guess is the ammo you were using in the .270 had different bullets than that used in the 6.5 CM. At 100 yards.. a 130 grain .270 has about about 2300 ft-lbs energy vs 1960 ft-lbs for the 129 grain 6.5 CM. Using Hornady's ammo spec's for comparison. I doubt a deer hit with either one with a...

But a hole through the heart and or lungs from a .243 up will probably end the life of the moose. But bigger holes are probably advisable when hunting in brown bear country just because.

7mm 08, 6.5 PRC or 6.5x284. My .25 06 has worked well for me but know it's a little on the light side for this group.

Wow! Thanks for sharing! Nice lion. Would look great mounted on a log and mounted on a wall in your house.

But if one does that, his scope will be bottomed out at zero. I would think he would want to be part way into the middle of the scopes travel? I guess it would depend on how far he wants to shoot. I am a fan of the Burris Signature rings and inserts. Can get just about any angle you want...

Praying thinking positive thoughts for all involved.

Reading for content is difficult.. I am sure we are all of that opinion.. : "have a 300WM that I use for elk hunting and shoot it well but would be nice to practice with less recoil and lower ammo cost." I would say: .260 remington, 6.5 creedmoor, 6.5 PRC, 6.5x.284 or .270. And as you...

.404 Jeffries and 93.5 grains of water

.270 .223 .22 LR

I think your comments are pretty much spot on. Need economical rifles from the likes of Ruger, Savage, Thompson Center, Tika, Howa and Remington for it to follow in the Creed's footsteps. Howa (Vanguard) is releasing the .300 PRC December 1 of this year and the 6.5 PRC the first of 2020...
