[QUOTE="fordy, post: 3028182, member: 120504"] Gday Darryle sorry for delay Those critters ranged from around 400 to 1600 lbs ( I wish we had of taken the 2000 lb plus fellas but those were taken with a 375 but man alive what a stupid decision as data would have been extremely valuable but next time right 😜 ) Note on a couple of those critters are angled racking shots These are some of the worst we can encounter especially the left side of the critter & sorts out a pill pretty quickly & would have I done those 25 odd years ago with bullets in 6.5 no darn way ( I’ve tried with a 270 back then & failure on racking even on frontal with the likes of the great partition pill or other failures was a pretty common occurrence ) On the average we are truly blessed on the new pills of today & we should forget about the caliber & actually look what the pill is capable of in the way it wounds across various resistances it would surprise some what some pills are capable of & those critters opened my eyes once a 6.5 impacted them but projectile choice is critical in doing this & even in the same brand we still need to be really careful I’ve seen a 224 cal do way better work than a lot of 6 mm & so on I just need to follow my own advice & stop reverting to my 375’s But they are fun lol Shooter abilities is one that is also often overlooked or another way to look @ it the smaller calibers can give a shooter the better ability to place it correctly I like , shoot what you can shoot well & be proficient @ doing it under various scenarios Do that & it’s get your knife out 😇 Cheers [/QUOTE]
