    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...

    I shot a fallow buck this morning with a 73gr .223 factory ELDM. Impact V about 1965fps and 625 ftlb. The deer died satisfactorily. Energy numbers are a next-to-useless tool for predicting...

    What a crock of shit that statement is. A shit load of deer have hit the deck for myself and others using calibers/bullets that deliver less energy than that. First deer I shot was with a 22lr 51...

    I'm shooting a 223AI with an 88gr ELD-M. It drops below 1000ft/lbs at ~200m. But the bullet on paper should still expand and produce adequate wounding to kill an animal cleanly out to ~600m... ...

    What calibre and projectile are you using? A projectile like a Hornady eld-m will open at lower velocity than a similar Barnes ttsx.

    tikka liked post by Gkp On thread : 22 arc Tikka build
    Standard bolt face. 308 etc Sounds like a good plan but the ARC is a real short case for a long tikka action. 22cm would make more sense imo. Will be a nice shooting set up either way
