cup and core bullets, i suspect you could use .411 bullets but why? the guns bore is very likely .410 and was likely regulated for such a bullet so why use one that is overbore? i suspect mono metal bullets would likely stress the barrels on the gun if they were .411. the cup and core bullet...

for what its worth, i have hunted and guided moose for over 40 years. i have shot em with the 7mm and the 338 win AND the 375 ruger. seen more than 50 killed. just grab the 338 win, it is a perfect moose caliber. better than the 7mm.

this video was a history lesson, well worth the time. it explains things going on in the world for the last 50 years regarding the slow deconstruction of america's industrial system.

the easy button and over the counter available: tikka t-3. i believe they are around 6.25-6.5# lots of caliber choices a light, low profile scope and you are ready to go. they might even sell them threaded now, but easy to do. caliber choice for mountain game; 270 win is a classic...

welcome aboard!

well, yes and no, depending on bullet construction as i tried to relay earlier. for example take a SD of .173 and .342 in the same caliber with a cup and core OR a mono metal bullet (we are just looking at same bullet construction here) is SD irrelevant?

well, the point is.... sectional density is entirely related to bullet weight ( assuming the same caliber)

very well stated!

slight disagreement here. first, sectional density is a calculation of no consequence, i would say with todays better bullet tech that that is more correct than it use to be, however in the early 1900's using cup and core bullets, sectional density was an indicator of bullet performance when...

i tend to agree with @Tanks on this one, not a lot of difference either way. certainly not enough to be concerned about. hornady loads in my 450-400 run at 2100 fps. my handloads for the rifle are the same velocity (since that is what it regulates at) can't tell any difference in recoil...

imagine that, a tranny shooting up a school ....again. sad deal.

i know you are a pretty smart guy, but i think this is a pretty foolish generalization of a lot of americans, i fall into the group you disparage. sorry to see that you feel this way about folks that want the best for their country.

i changed channels during 1/2 time, and brought up the TP USA show, it was very well done! had no need for clorox.

i am using 286 gr a frames, i am using CFE 223 getting 2500 fps. north forks would also be a great choice. very shootable and accurate.
