[QUOTE="fordy, post: 2639467, member: 120504"] Gday I’ve been trying to stay away from conflict but I can’t stand by & potentially see a critter be potentially lost & while I will state I will say the following is a little theory based which I don’t like but I have the facts to base it with a little certainty but I will accept if I’m wrong & apologise wholeheartedly I note this post by frank & I agree the 117 afterburner is to light so if mark takes the following to heart so be it or he can learn & make adjustments the choice is his & here goes the theory as I have not shot the 117 in 7rm So here goes on my theories the afterburner have a velocity limit & while I can’t say the exact number as that would require a lot more work I can vouch the pills under high resistance & high velocity fail & if we look @ potentially what the RM should be able to push this pill @ it will past the velocity of consistency & a high probability of failure & the critter more likely to do this is a elk & while if we hit in the crease it will kill you do the pin of the shoulder quartering to you @say 30/70yard your into a bingo raffle ( I would need actual velocity to work out ranges & im theory on elk as substituting for hybrids I’ve shot & other like critters ) I would stay with your thoughts originally franko21 & shoot what pill you want & if you can guarantee you’ll stay off bone in a elk go for the afterburner but if it’s that way you go don’t search for top velocity as then you’ll potentially be safe I think it’s better if I start a new thread as I think it would be better than derailing this thread Just bare with me we have got major floods in Tassie & I’ve got animals to put down & infrastructure to fix while helping some other people out No proof read & please I mean no malice just trying to stop a potentially bad outcome Cheers [/QUOTE]
