I had left eye dominant and used to buy guns for lefties. I 'm right handed, and found that it was awkward to manipulate the left bolt. I'm more efficient lowering the right handed rifle to use my right hand to work the bolt for my needed second shot. Now my right eye is dominant, and I find it...

Thanks Jay. I take the figures as rough indicator of how powerful they are compared to other bullets of same type, but in different weight and at various ranges. Mean while, I await others to chime in.

Energy table for rifle cartridges are simply shown as foot pounds. I was told that it is foot pound per square inch. So what is the real answer, simply foot pound, or foot pound per square inch?

BTW I hunted with Outfitter three times. First was a good moose with his guide. Then a very fine dall and the griz with the Outfitter himself. Highly recommended.

Hello Rick, how do you do?:)

6.5 Super LR I don't have it, but dying to:D. Also Super LR

I concur, except that the bullet shouldn't blow apart at impact velocity.

Yes, they were nosler partition. I used A-square Dead Toughand Trophy Bonded Bear Claw just when they came out, for buffs. I wish Nosler AB bullets were available then. I only shot one hartebeest, and that was in Tanzania; it's tenacity really surprised me. I only shot because my PH...

I only have experience with NPt bullets, and I concur that it's very acceptable for all your African plain games, with 300RUM. In fact, it'd be acceptable for all African games except for elephants, Buffs, rhinos, and hippos, if your PH would let you shoot with it. Heck, I shot a beautiful...

Concur! But I'd add that very good bullet is also a prime requisite. Nosler PT is my preference. I'ven't shot many browns, just one 8'3" in the peninsular with a 30-06, griz in Yukon that got my guide Rick Furniss his silver buckle with a 270, and a Russian griz 8'10"with a 300win plus a NWT...

When I was actively hunting, Nosler PT was the holy grail, and several people were complaning about it's price. The PT was all I ever used for hunting big game, and they were worth the money. Then I took personal delivery of Trophy Bonded Bear Claw bullets (non tipped) in .375 from Jack Carter...

+1 I've shot a few toms, including one that just killed a heifer. I don't think any of them were as large as yours.

"What works for elk will work for eland". I find them to be just as elusive and tough. Choose your cartridge and bullet accordingly.

I'm interested in a practical (not tactical) 6.5mm rifle, and am deciding on 6.5CM vs 6.5SLR. Ballistically, I think they are equal, and I think 6.5CM has advantages over the 6.5SLR. However, I don't know if other manufacturers are making brass for 6.5CM. Do you guys think that Hornady brass...

Just love your post. I learned a lot from your wisdom. Wish this site has a "like" button, so I don't sound like I'm your agent.
