    Ok, sure moving targets. At such ranges where that much hold is a thing, are you really shooting at running animals? Or just slinging...

    At 800+ yards? I'd love to see someone hit a 2MOA target at 800yd in a 30mph wind with a cold bore shot. That's some world class...

    Even on those western hunts where lets say you're shooting at pronghorn at 800y... are they doing it in 25-50mph of wind? I don't see...

    As does just about everyone. I've never even heard of someone taking a shot on game in a wind like that. That's why I say the amount...

    Assuming no CNS hits, What is the mechanism of death with a 1500ft-lb of energy bullet that expends all of it inside the animal? And...

    1500ft-lbs going through and stopping in 18in of elk is about 3050J. For a 700lb elk, that'd heat it about .0041 degrees F. Died of...

    Not to anyone that understands animals aren't killed by heating them with bullet friction.

    The only reason FFP isn't used near as much in hunting is because there's almost no FFP reticle out there that is designed for hunting...

    But there's no basis whatsoever for those energy numbers. They're just pulled out of someone who's long dead's butt. Just make sure you...

    The Apex 194 grain has the same BC as the 240 grain CEB. Notice the short ogive on the CEB. It's not a sleek bullet. You'd be able to...
