I can’t/won’t argue with that at all. I’m much more concerned with the use of .22 caliber, highly frangible bullets @ high...

I love, our only hunting bullets….. mono bullets. All of the monos (to my knowledge) require a bit more velocity to give good...

If penetration is the main concern don’t overlook copper bullets in smaller cartridges. I witnessed a 35gr hammer penetrate a deer darn...

wilkup replied to the thread Best All Around Caliber for Whitetail and Mule Deer?.I hear your point but with proper bullet selection/placement it's a nonissue. For the record, I hunt with a 7mm myself but feel a 6mm...

More tissue destruction given similar bullet design. Better penetration and exit wound potential. My bullet can lose half it’s weight...

My 260AI significantly outperforms my buddy's CM, at least in terms of velocity. He runs 2780'ish in a 24" barrel and I run 2980'ish in...

If you can't kill em with a small bullet you'll struggle with a big one. Hasn't failed yet with 7 big game animals. Hell i shoot 100+...
