Well, he didn’t shoot carjackers. He shot a pair of car thieves. People haven’t been able to do that for a long time. You can thank scouts.

He shot a pair of young predators. They are not victims.
It is entirely possible he saved an innocent person's life, by cutting their night short.
10 bucks says this wasn't their first crime.
Good riddance.
We are sick of this crap.

Why do people load so hot?

Nothing personal or an attempt to affront, but

Well that does not make a whole lot of sense. Using my load for my .25-06 using the Berger VLD 115 grain bullet at 3003FPS (its a slow barrel but a very accurate hunting barrel) the drop at 300 yards with a 200 yard zero is 6.5 inches. Going to 350 yards the drop is 11.8 inches or well out of the killing zone. Increasing that to 3103 which is really pushing the pressure gets me a grand total improvement of 0.8 of an inch drop. Killing the barrel for essentially no gain.

Not saying your statement is wrong. Lots of fellows push it to the max to get a better point blank range, but if they would look at the numbers, they would find how little they are actually benefitting.

So, I stand behind my initial position. If you need more power (or a longer point blank range) Get A Bigger Gun!

Caveat, I’ve been driving all day and now it’s time to unpack and a thunderstorm is brewing, plus the power is out at the house so I admit, being a bit grouchy. Just for honesty, my point blank range with that rifle is 250 yards and regardless of the tools available, that is the longest I feel I can properly assure a humane kill regardless of the tools available

It doesn't make sense because in your quite limited example 100fps doesn't make much diffrence in your opnion. In the context of PB zeros, speed makes it longer so I have to disagree. Also the context of the conversation when the comment was made, was that less speed is an advantage. The pont was there are times where more speed is an advantage also.


Sure people go to a bigger cartridge all the time to increase PB zero, they also shoot a lighter bullet. 22lr to 17hmr. It's the reason I suggest a 22-250 when someone wants a coyote rifle. And it's the reason i steer them toward 40-55g bullets.

Because you don't believe anything that ACTUALLY happens. It's all fake and some conspiracy by evil Americans, like we are omnipotent and control everything.

It is no different at all than what the moon bats protesting think. They just arrive at the same place from the opposite direction.

Angola is oil rich. So why a fuel price hike that led to deadly protests?

Critics say most people in Africa’s third-largest oil-producing nation have not seen benefits from that natural wealth.

I've said it many times. Let China invest in Africa. It's a fucking waste of money and they will end up fleeing. The Chinese are way too racist and supremacist to operate in Africa anyway. The Africans fucking hate them from what I understand.

Keep them the fuck out of South America. That's where our interests lie. Africa can go fuck itself for all I care. I am never going back there.

Why do people load so hot?

The 180+ have a real high BC but the recoil with that much bullet is quite a bit more than a 105 or 140.

Its interesting to think of it as relation between both recoil and velocity. I wonder if action and scope flex play a role also.

The 223 is pretty easy to self spot, even at fairly close ranges shooting 50-55g bullets going 33-3400fps.

I used this tool to make comparisons when giving the 6.5x47 and 25GT a serious look. https://bisonballistics.com/calculators/recoil

I could perceive a difference in felt recoil after about a .2-.3 pound difference with what the calculator was tabulating. That said, there is more to it than just numbers. I had been also playing with a 223 with heavy 85 and 88 grain bullets. It seemed each time I went up in bore size, even if the numbers were a close match, you could feel a difference. The larger the bore, the more snap I seemed to feel. I'm thinking a person would need one of those graphing units that Gavin at Ultimate Reloader has that shows you the energy over time to see it.

7mm's are interesting and I wouldn't mind trying one at some point.

True !
But when a Dollar Store without groceries is their only competition within 10 miles adds up to slim pickings . 🫤

Being honest, it depends on the Walmart. We have two. One is as ghetto AF. The other is surrounded by gated communities and 55 plus neighbors. Totally different environment. Same in my last AO. The wife prefers Publix and recently began using Kroger delivery.

Dollar stores take customers Walmart bans.
