Just a question, but for brake efficiency, wouldn't keeping the through the baffle hole size closer to (and of course, the right diameter larger) than the bore diameter make for better efficiency rather than more of a one size fits all ? I know your finishing your designs so probably all is...

Re: Why do snipers use .308 with so many other options??? What is best Ya, I love my .308 as much as most. Son set a national record in junior highpower Silhouette with one. I used one professionally, shot competition with one, and have shot more game and long range with the .308 Winchester...

Re: Why do snipers use .308 with so many other options??? What is best miechele I didn't get what you did out of superlite 17's post...his was really, more a very general query....why do people shoot what they shoot basically. Beyond that, no one was bashing the .308 rather generally...

Re: Why do snipers use .308 with so many other options??? What is best "BUT... is the 308 the most inherently accurate cartridge available??? Ballisticly speaking??? Was so much effort put into this cartridge because it is inherently accurate or because it is NATO?" Short answer is no...it is...

Re: Why do snipers use .308 with so many other options??? What is best What superlite 17 said....plus I have been to counter sniper LEO shoots where guns of the "spared no expense" were competing in competition. These are some of the best guns LEO depts can afford. In the end, in the sudden...

For me, I have always had to consider the terrain that I want to shoot from in setting up for the bipod. I use the bipod most often, when I have explored the area before, picked my firing points which are best suited to the terrain/bipod, and made a range card in advance with my field of fire...

Wildcat 338 Thanks...that does indeed help. That your getting through the shoulder and griss to the off side with a normally mushroomed bullet speaks very well for the 270 140 S.H.P.B.T. This is exactly the kind of reporting that is very difficult to find for that particular bullet at 270...

Juenke Saturn 300 VJAR Contender...the heavily modified T/C, reworked by Verne Juenke. Plus a few others in contender. Paul

My main interest over the years, has been to buy guns, develop the most accurate loads I could, then trade them (the guns) off for MORE guns to develop more loads....over and over...so, I have owned a awful lot of guns and loaded for them. All in all, I have seen very few die problems but, I...

Old bear Interesting.....Through the posts and with yours, it is sounding like the the H.P.B.T. Sierra Game King just might be a pretty tough bullet and I was surprised that it was holding up to the 7 Whby. I suppose then that I should not be to worried about using it (140gr. 270 winchester...

Re: velocity equilizations Gosh I thought everyone new that about 22 projectiles. Law of diminishing returns (?) also applies here too. Paul

Wildcat338 Thank you ! thats very helpful. What size class and animals did you use the 140gr. 270 for... If youv'e been hunting a lot for awhile, I realize you may not exactly remember, but if you do, I would appreciate hearing about. thanks again Paul

Been a custom Savage shooter for many years but, just thought to let you guys know, that Savage will mix and match any components they manufacture in order to build a gun for you, that isn't currently in their product line. This is not custom shop prices rather, putting together what you want...

Ol Mike Here's Chuck Hawks fairly straight forward explanation of sectional density: http://www.chuckhawks.com/sd.htm regards Paul

It was the Sierra H.P.B.T. Gameking not the match.... I agree, nothing I have shot these bullets in didn't shoot them (in 30 cal.,) extremely well....which is part of the reason I wanted to finally hunt with them. This would be for the 270 Winchester though and I have seen precious little...
