[QUOTE="MAD10, post: 1987275, member: 29370"] Many are just "regurgitating" what they have heard and have zero practical knowledge. Like I said the [U]bullet does not lie and these two charts highlight that - I have altitude on my side as well and is why I posted that critical information- RemV was 1937 fps and RemE was 1400ish ft lbs according my Kestrel 5700 Elite [/U]but if you can't set your ego aside or open your mind you'll fall victim to being domineering and demand that everyone listen to you...sorta like how some probably talk to their kids and wives lol... Another point is many think caliber only and do not associate bullet weight or bullet type. Hence why I would not smash stuff past 400 yards with a 140 controlled expansion bullet in the 7mm08 - but the 162 and it's frangible properties changes everything. Worse yet they'll drive the 162 at magnum velocities and shoot close range and say..."see that bullet sucks" and the circle repeats itself. Why because they do not understand ballistics and/or how to apply it and most certain do not shoot enough to make those kind of shots so they think no one else can either. same guys wonder why their W2 looks so much different than the other guy... LMAO [/QUOTE]
