Here's my trike! View attachment 85942

shoot and ride what you like and all is well, just poking fun at the gun dummies and not the cartridge itself or serious shooters that know their way around guns and cartridges, some creediots can really get bigly stupid, lol

used to ride trikes by way of Honda 250 R and 350 X in my younger days but they don't exist anymore due to .gov protecting and saving us.... packed one of my first bull moose on a 1986 350 X back in the day, piece by piece it all came out !

these days I use the Honda 500 Foreman 4-wheeler and just bought a new one for 2017, broke it in well on it's first season

Glad to see the thread is back on track! That's what I like about this place. And here's another.

"Is the 65 Grendel popular"?

"I had one.... for hunting I didn't like it at all... 3 deer shot, 1 lost, 2 were long tracking jobs and follow up shots...I didn't reload the round, was shooting 123 grain sst's I think".

"Doubt that was the cartridges fault".

"Shoulder shots on all 3 deer... at most 175 yards... I was baffled with all the videos of DRT shots on hogs, deer, antelope, exotics, etc... 20" Alexander arms AR... oh well, got rid of it and moved on... was accurate as hell though".

One of my favorites is this one.
I was at my local range and a "very well experienced" hunter and shooter was arguing with me about my 6.5 CM. He said it´s a crappy caliber only good for punching paper and hitting steel.
After a couple minutes and when he was desperate enough to start to get technical he said BC of a bullet depends on the cartridge and not the bullet itself.

just came across a guy a few days back while hunting. he was useing a 7.9x57 (8mm mauser ) 190 grain bullets that shoots at 2300 fps. the ballistic mode set on his leupold range finder was groop B ( high power magnums like 7mmRM ,7mm STW and 300 WM ) l told him that he had selected the wrong groop, but he turned around and said that the 8mm mauser has about the saim bullet drop as the 7mmRM. he kept mocking my 7mmRM, saying the 7mmRM doesnt kill medium game

I think that guy was confusing the 8mm Mauser with the 8mm Remington Magnum... It is the parent case that the 7mm STW was derived from.

Also, saying the 7mmRM can't kill medium-sized game, but his 8mm Mauser can, is just hilarious.

Hmm. Wonder how my 7RM managed to dump that nice 6x6 last year. Musta gotten lucky I guess. . .

I better go get something MORE BIGGER!

 

[Creedmoor shooter]

Hmmmm guess it's a miracle my 7mm mag had killed 2 mature northern NH bucks the past 2 years (dressed 218 and 183).........

Must also be a miracle my dad and grandpa both have killed NH moose with their 7mm mags...... my dad's bull that dressed at 885 was drt with one shot with a 140 grain corlockt

 

[MudRunner2005]

I guess it's also a miracle my 7mmRM's have been dropping deer in their tracks ranging from 100-500 yards, for 16+ years...

Guy on another site explained that a 600-1000y head shot on a deer was ethical and well within his skill set, but probably not mine. I agreed with him that I was probably not consistently capable of this shot.

One and a half second bullet flight time to 1000 yards is enough time for any given deer to move its head 5".

Yikes. That's what gives us a bad name

If you split the skull you can't score the antlers.
theres no reason to take head shots

 

[Clucknmoan]

[Canhunter35]
