[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 1331338, member: 27307"] I was hoping upon receipt of the notice that there were more responses to his post that the original poster would return. But I guess Feb. 26th is too much to ask for... Anyway, simply selecting a different cartridge will not solve the problem since they are in the same or very similar class of energy at the target. That is the problem and the question. How much energy does it take to topple the ram? Of course, you also have to know if it has been hard set or not. How much energy does the bullet of choice transfer to the plate when fired at a given velocity? Any of the .223 Rem. based cartridges (6mm or otherwise) will offer about 600 ft/lbs. at the target. The next suggestions will offer about 760 ft/lbs. It's doubtful that any of these will knock the ram off the base. I'm shooting a 6mm BRX with 105 gr. bullets to achieve 2,200 ft/lbs of energy at the muzzle and 1,150 ft/lbs. at the target which works just fine. My thought is that he has painted himself into a corner which has no operable resolution. He needs a new rifle. Regards. [/QUOTE]
