something I can't fathom is how people can spend thousands of dollars on a hunt, sometimes thousands on rifles, optics, and all other kinds of gear. and in the same breath, will put a box of Remington core lokts or another budget cup and core bullet in their rifle. And what makes that worse...

I don't think it should be about whether or not you can ethically make the shot at (insert long distance) with (insert cartridge). I think it should be about the concept of a fair chase for that animal. End of story.

I will stand with post 64 CRF. better made than pre-64 with gas protection. though I would have no issues using a push feed for dangerous game. the biggest writer who proves why is warren page. his main rifle in Africa that he used was a 375 Weatherby Remington 721 on all forms of dangerous game...

as far as I know, it's a fairly thin jacketed bonded projectile with High B.C. that is in its element on whitetail, mule deer, and caribou(or anything similar sized). But still very capable of taking an elk or similar if needed.

I agree with you on this. the vast majority is the shooter and rifle. Which is why I made this thread because an old cartridge with a new rifle creates a tack driver. I have two rifles(270 win and 257wea.) That both shoot >1/2 groups when I do my part.

Mostly modern tactical shooters who see wood and a traditional Cartridge and dismiss it as precise For reasons unknown to me. Edit: especially with big bores.

Many cartridges are not considered very accurate by many because of their history as traditional hunting cartridges. Such as 270, 30-06, 7x57, 257 Robb. And many dangerous game cartridges. What guns do you all have that disprove these claims ,and show groups too if you can.

it is snowing up to around 10 inches. -3f air temp and feels like -20f tomorrow it with be whiteout conditions and -40 wind chill. :)

what are people's experiences using 22 magnum and 22lr on coyotes and raccoons? Similarly, how big of animals have you used these rimfires for?

companies come out with new cartridges not because they perform better. more often than not they are nearly identical(65Creed 260 rem, 270wsm 6.8 western, 300 win mag, 300 PRC, etc), But because they want to make more money by selling more ammo and rifles.

JY jones would beg to differ. he did it with one.

I have this feeling it is not a real person.:S Idea:

exactly, even if you are a "long-range hunter" there are even better options for that pursuit. such as the ABLR and the Terminal Ascent.

from looking at bullet cutaways I think the speed grand slam is what the interlock bullets always should have been. the interlock ring is far too small of a mechanical lock to do much of anything.

Interesting, lots more options than I thought there’d be.
