    Single shot pistol for Illinois

    I ws thinking of building this off a Bat Sv I have sitting hear from a another project. It looks like I will go with a 30Bellm, but can't find anywhere that sells this ammo? I ws thinking of the 460 but hate to try and open the bolt up to fit it.

    Single shot pistol for Illinois

    Can anyone help my with this. Wanting to build a pistol to take to ILl. for whitetail. It must be at least 30cal with a case length not to exceed 1.4". It must also be as a factory load with published ballistic data. This means not 7.62x39 or 30AR. I have found the 300 whisper but not that...

    Min amout of knockdown force at 700yrds?

    Bigngreen those loads sound great, but I can not find any data with results like that. Can you tell me where to start looking for these results. Even if you run the 169.5gr at 2700fps at muzzle given the weight and BC this load should still have 1676fps and 1057fpe at 1000yrds. 2800fps...

    Min amout of knockdown force at 700yrds?

    FYI just running the numbers on a 7mm 140 accubond vs a .277 140gr accubond, the numbers favor the .277 if both use a velocity of 3150. If we go to 3186 for the 277 and 3200 for the 7 the numbers still favor the 277with 1814fps and 1023fpe at 820yrds. The 7 @ 820 is 1798fps and 1005fpe. So why...

    Min amout of knockdown force at 700yrds?

    I choose a 270wsm becasue I already have lots of .277 bullets for a 270ihmsa. This is bacisly a 300 savage with the shoulder moved back. I am getting about 2500 with it out of a 22" barrel with 140gr bullets. This is my go to rifle for light weight carrying. But I need a rifle for stand hunting...

    Min amout of knockdown force at 700yrds?

    I decided to use a 270wsm with 140gr accubonds. Iam going to push it at 3150fps. Now given thevelocity and Nosler published BC (496) and using hanloads.com ballistic calculator I should have 1969fps and KDE of 1205 at 700 yards. I think that even though the numbers are just computer numbers this...

    6.5wsm vs 270wsm

    Well I think I have decided on the 270wsm. Using aBallistic Calculator I should push a 140gr AB (BC.496) at 3140fps. It should still have 1961fps and 1195 flbs and drop only 92" below a 200yd zero. I think I can work with this. Has anyone used Norma brass is it better than W-W or Rem?

    Min amout of knockdown force at 700yrds?

    Thanks that is kinda the number I was thinking would be min. If so then a 6.5x270wsm and a 270wsm should both be good for 700 yards given both retain 1000 lbs of KDP at that range.

    Min amout of knockdown force at 700yrds?

    I understand what you ae saying. I was just trying to find a baseline number for knockdown energy in order to humanely make a quick kill. I thought may 1000lbs of energy would be the min. Would you agree with this. Given we are using quality bullets.

    Leupold B&C reticle

    Has anyone used this type? If so do you like it or should I just use a mil dot?

    6.5wsm vs 270wsm

    can you run the numbers if the 6.5 was based off the 7wsm. If I am not mistaken the 7 has a little more room in it due to shorter neck. So maybe a little move velocity?
