Yeah, I'm not a real big fella. Ever seen that guy that got stuck in the taffy puller on Willy Wonka? I'm filling out now that I'm older (or because of staying home through the 'rona just eating), but even a couple of years ago you could jerk me right through a keyhole and not touch the sides.
At 100yds maybe
Well you must have the shot placement thingy, we keep hearing about, figured out....I’ve killed A BUNCH of deer and pigs with quite few different calibers, and I’ve never had a single animal complain that I didn’t hit them with enough velocity or that the bullets was too light or too heavy.
Ruger M77 stock design is horrible. The worst kicking rifle I’ve ever shot is a mid 80’s vintage Ruger M77 Ultralite 270 Win my parents gave me when I was in high school. I still have the gun but haven’t shot it in over 20 years and don’t care if I ever do again.
What makes you think a 25-06 can't shoot sub MOA at any range? What experience do you have with it that's making you think this? My experiences say you're 100% incorrect.
I know you reload but would you recommend the factory loaded 55 gr. Vmax ammo?400+ lb hog instant death with 1 55gr V-max every deer i shot with the 55gr died with 1 shot and no tracking needed.
Would not bother me a bit if I had a 25-06.
Only thing that would bother me is finding components to reload for it and I do not want anymore guns to reload for.
The key to any caliber is shot placement and bullet selection.
The .223 55gr V-max by Hornady is explosive and acts like a hand grenade going off inside animals.
The 55gr SP Hornady is a non explosive bullet in my testing and buddy shot 2 deer with it in the same place on the deer
and they ran off over 500 yards.
I will never shoot that bullet at a critter again.
The 55 V-max none of the deer or hogs made it farther than 20 feet. And that was 2 deer and only 1 hog.
All the rest were bang flop.
I had to mention bullet selection.
Never said that.
