    What is the the most flat shooting cartridge yall can think of?

    Look up the 224 McDonald. It's basically a 6mm Rem case that's given the Ackley treatment then necked to .22 caliber. It's in the 4800 fps range with 40 grains and with 30 grain Bergers goes over 5200 fps. It was designed by Charley McDonald who lived just a few minutes from me. Unfortunately...

    Low recoil deer caliber

    A .243 seems like the perfect answer. With 80 grain bullets there’s almost no recoil, ammunition is cheap, it shoots flat and it’s available in a broad range of inexpensive rifles.

    NON-TYPICAL rifle build in mind; need some help...

    Shortening a barrel to reduce FPS with the purpose of reducing throat erosion will not work. Simply put, most erosion happens before the bullet gets anywhere near the end of the barrel.

    SOLD/EXPIRED CCI 450

    It’s funny that when an individual tries to sell a hard to find product at a large profit, they become selfish greedy scum. However corporations do it all the time. They simply call it supply and demand. Or they say, “it’s proprietary” meaning that it’s a one off product that you cannot buy...

    It’s typical of the man-bun cr€€d crowd, just trying to find a way to let the world know that they too have got a fanny pack rifle. 😂

    Really??? I thought this would be a post that I would be 100% sure that I would not have to hear the word “creed” in. 🤷🏼‍♂️

    Top 5 hunting rifles at/under $1K

    In my opinion it’s pretty hard to beat a Tikka T3 Lite. They’re not expensive (under $800 bucks) they’re light and they’re quite accurate. Available in 7mm Rem mag which will fill your elk requirements. Leaves you a couple hundred extra bucks for a brake or some fine tuning.

    Kill the wolf?

    Canadian biologists claim that an adult wolf needs 16 - 18 full sized deer or 8 elk per year to survive. It doesn’t take much math to figure out that it won’t take many wolves to decimate a large herd of elk or deer.

    Cost of a new scope?

    I found that the best scope I could find for my money was a Tac Vector Paragon. Really good German Schott brand glass and very reliable tracking for less than $500-$600.

    Most common caliber

    In Canada it would be 30-30 then 30-06.

    200 vs 315 yard zero

    With my 257 Wby I use the same technique.... zero at 330 yds which is 3.7" high at around 225 yds and 3.7" low at 400. That way it's just point and shoot.

    What's your shot placement choice on this nice 6 point bull?

    I would go for area 5 with a .257 Weatherby 120 grain Partition at 3380 fps.
