I can't answer your question directly but my brother made a siren sound and two different times had wolves in on our laps.... We also had a train horn miles away get a pack fired up one day. My brother made the siren sound just with his own voice. I was in my cot in the wall tent and it sounded...

I have never had a bore shoot as good as my 26 nosler x caliber barrel.

That's good advice with these high-speed if a guy spends too much time dinking around you won't have any bore left.

If you end up getting into some h1000 and need some load help I can PM some info.... H1000 seems to be a go-to for the 264 and the 6.5284 for many people. I personally load that 142 for my friend and his 264. Very very accurate combo... Kills like lightning for him I have a feeling that the LRT...

Hey. Here's that elk. It's the one that's in the middle and the highest up. It's not as close resemblance to yours as I remembered seeing it but yours reminded me of it. I thought maybe these elk are like cousins 😆. Anyway. That's my friend Dons bull. He's from Rathdrum and hunt with a .264wm...

I said it does it with less energy than a 308.... Meaning it doesn't need magnum amounts to kill. Although they do sell the xtp mag if ya feel ya need to try to get more out of one.

Barnes Lehigh defense Hornady..... Nobody is telling people how much energy they're supposed to have to make a good kill. They're advertising their bullet performance at certain speeds. Everybody shooting elk with the creedmoor or a PRC or whatever believes they have enough energy to do the job...

Good luck to you my freezer's seen it play out as well with no problems.

Bingo. For a proper wound channel.

Well we don't get to hunt with hot rodded stuff like that here although I wish they would let us because what we get to set out with really isn't that great unless you're very close and very accurate. Most people are using a power belt bullet and I have found the little green wad inside of an...

The end of post 114 is what brought up what I'm talking about but that's okay we did apparently don't understand each other.

And what are you shooting. We are allowed LEaD only and people here aren't getting 2500 lb of energy at 100 yards with our restrictions.

Actually this isn't really about defending the 6.5 . It's about what you're stating about energy. You think because your bullet hits that all that energy is dumped into the animal but is not how it works. It has to dissipate into the animal and not all of that energy does that, that's all the...

On the creedmoor I shot the 143 eldx for years. It makes a nice big hole the tip explodes but the core drives through the animal. Personally I feel like it's about 550 yards although I've seen it pushed farther and it still did expand well. On the 26nosler I shoot a 156 Berger. The berger is...

I guess that's the part I keep getting confused by cuz it just seems like people comfort themselves with the energy but in all the extensive reading I've done on terminal ballistics the energy plays a limited part in the actual killing. True it contributes to damage but much of it goes through...
