Makes sense...the missing link = bearing surface

I own both calibers and have noticed a somewhat puzzling relationship between the two. Although a 300WM case has more capacity, a 338 can push the same bullet faster. An example shows up in the Nosler reloading data where a 200gr. Accubond from a 338 is able to be pushed over 3000fps while in a...

I like the pig plex....clean and simple

I appreciate your feedback, all those are valid points, but all those variables exist with a drop compensating scope, open sights or any other sighting devices etc. I get all risks associated with thinking this way, my total focus has been to come up with a theoretical plan, validated by...

I hear you, I reload, will be chronographing my loads and have access to a 300yd range to see whats really going on. I use the theory to validate concepts, but always prove em before hunting season as even as a resident, I generally have $1k in an elk hunt so don't risk that with unproven ideas...

I hunt exclusively in an area that has been and is still continuously logged which means many roads in large drainages overlooking canyons where I spot elk at up to a mile or more away, then endeavor to get as close as possible for the shot. I have been hunting the same area for 40 years and in...

2nd focal plane (SFP) BDC scopes,with a “busy” sight picture for extended range shooting (300yds+) seems counter-intuitive to the idea of increasing accuracy at distance and quickly getting cross hairs on target and a bullet down range. If not a busy sight picture, you have your mind on...

I have been a user of the GrandSlam line for over 30 years. I have taken many deer and bull elk at ranges from 50yds to 500+yds with them in 270, 06, 300 winmag and 338 winmag and have never had a bullet failure, in fact these bullets almost always are "pass thru" shots on game. Elk drop like...

Elk can soak up multiple hits from 150gr. bullets from any caliber. When you are shooting light bullets at elk, do both of you a favor and make shot placement the primary concern. Fortunately you are hunting in Colorado for Rocky Mountain elk or I would say that you are a bit under gunned. I...
