[QUOTE="Varberger757, post: 1604920, member: 66992"] Yes, Mr. Messner designed the monumental projectiles as hunting bullets with high BC for hunts between 0 - 600 meters. I'm assuming that the bullet is expanding reasonably, but I haven't seen pictures of fired bullets in gelatin or game until now. They are working following the same principle as Barnes or Hornady GMX. Requirement is however sufficient velocity, which the 6,5 x 63 MM or similar cartridges are generating. Personally I wouldn't like to exceed hunting ranges to more than 300 - 350 meters, but that's an European thing. If you don't shoot many rounds in a short time and give the barrel time to cool down 1200 - 1500 rounds seem to be realistic. [/QUOTE]
