I already have a 378 and a 338-378 Weatherby. Don’t really need an 8mm magnum, but I do want a 257 Weatherby mag. Why? I just want one...

The difference between a bullet strike and a stab wound is the wounding mechanism of energy transfer to destroy tissue. A stab wound...

There you go again, picking the right bullet for the job! :)

Burnt 3 barrels off a 270 WSM, its in my top 5 for elk hunting, killed a lot of elk out to 1000 yards with one. It's what I was shooting...

Pretty simple. Brass. Lapua, Peterson, ADG, Alpha or the like is available for all the other ones mentioned. The 6.8 is a good...

Gotta wonder if these bullets were pass-throughs on other elk that hit an elk behind the original target. Or, bad shots. Where did you...

There are also similar threads below.

Additionally, because bullet construction influences expansion/energy transfer at specific velocities, what works better at long range...

I read the two articles. IMO they are unnecessarily complex (low signal-to-noise ratio). The gist seems to be: energy transfer...

Wonder why no one in this thread has mentioned the 6.8 Western? It should do everything that most of the wildcats based on the .270/'06...
