   Light as you can for calibre, way lighter than conventional is also the way to go for general purpose hunting

   What do you mean by economical to feed? 22 Creedmoor, 22GT or 22BR would probably be the lowest recoiling cartridge you can get without sacrificing performance too much. I'm sure some people...

   Possibly .243 out to 500m...Actually pretty much anything on the 08 case as mentioned so far. Possibly add in the 260 rem or the 6.5CM or thow in a 6.5x55 but it will require a long action on most...

   Only real difference is the long ogive of the 75gr really, everything else to my knowledge is the same. One thing to take note of is the sample size for example 1 failure out of 40 odd is pretty...

    .243 would be great. Then he can down scale or up scale later depending on his taste. Although I'm a fan, .223 is not something you just pick up with a box of any old ammo and go hunting with. Takes...

    Funnily enough its big rutted up stags that have ALWAYS been said to be maybe step to far for the .224s. Maybe not so silly Afterall.

    Strictly speaking ethics are not up to the individual. Ethics is an agreed group code of conduct. Morality is the individual version of it. For my two cents my morals permit the use of thermals...

    So I take it from the comments so far, it's OK to use a thermal to get your animal/trophy? But from other discussions, not a helicopter? Where's the line?
