    It's not just the BC though. It's also the ENOURMOUS effective velocity window they are claiming.

    Be nice if the numbers turn out to be true but........

    Damn straight. My A Max stock pile might need to be re evaluated. I'll use Andrew as my guinea pig until then.
    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    I called into the importers to pick up some bits and pieces and we might be waiting a bit longer.
    Never mind 1500 amax will take a while to use!
    My favorite sentences i like to hear are - I suppose so. and Send It!

    Fark, thats quite a tangent to take. It usually just veers off toward homosexuality or drinking.


    Anyway, anyone know why my cat keeps on coughing up hairballs?

    I don't get the deal with always using the same weights. Round numbers and the like. Surely there is an optimal weight and shape for a diameter, and I'm sure it does not fall on a round number. I guess its for old reloading data.

    As far as the impact velocity goes, why not? Super high BC projectiles are super long, have super high sectional densities and penetrate like crazy because of it. Like arrows. So they will penetrate even when they are very fragile. If you achieve penetration through shape not robust construction, you can have a very wide effective impact velocity.
    This.
    Last few deer I've shot with my 6.5x55 using 140 amax doing around 2730fps have been: First one went through the shoulder and straight out the other side taking a leg bone with it. The second through bones -> leg,rib, rib, leg and straight out. Lost a bit of meat because of it too.

    I swear you could Texas heart shoot a deer with a 6.5 and it will still come out the other side.

    Na mate, I hunted it whenever I was in waiouru and couldnt get a Army zone to hunt. We used to hunt the native. I couldnt tell ya what access is like nowadays. Got a jap spiker in there once.
    Only place I ever had a vehicle broken into in my life as well.
