    See. I agree with that. Have said it a million times. The guy that started this thread asked if using a 223 for tiny 10 and he was ok was told not to use it. To use a 375.

    I think calling 375 the perfect gun for tiny ten is very similar.

    Man a drilling does seem to be a nice rifle for walking through the bush with multiple animals on the list.

    Again. What does that have to do with anything? My PH has more experience than you. So that means he’s right and you’re wrong? Worst cop out answer ever. I’ve shot as many 30-50lb think skinned animals as you. Just because I’ve been to Africa once doesn’t mean I have nothing to give to the...

    Yeah. Been my experience also. Doubt you would carry your 375hh out there to coyote hunt with. Haha.

    It will both.

    Insane. I’m in Alabama so just up the road. If ever coming through just PM me and we will go shoot or hunt.

    Factory colt barrel has 1/7. You could source one of those cheap and just screw it on

    I’d move from those states. Haha. I’m gonna have a Blaser r8 barrel made in 223 with 1/8. I lobe my large calibers but a small lightweight 223 is nice a lot of the time.

    Just asked my ph. His answer.

    My ar is a colt le6920. It has 1/7 twist. 1/8 will stabilize 77TMK also. Can also use 73eldm You can buy an appropriate barrel cheap, or a whole upper for three to $400.

    I have shot one. That said, I would trust someone less on this conversation that their only thoughts on the issue were “I used 375 and it was great.” Anecdotal evidence is the worst kind because it often tricks you into thinking what you did was right, when it is often dead wrong. I could...

    That’s just not true. What if it’s a different bullet? Also larger bullets are often not applied to same spot at same rate as smaller ones. That’s why 1-2moa is acceptable on large caliber and not for smaller.

    True. Read the thread on other site and let me know what you think. I will say it makes a lot of sense and goes against most of what I read here. I have taken several deer with 223 and they die just as dead.

    No. Velocity has that effect. Not energy. Energy “may” have an effect on stopping a charging buffalo. Has zero input into our conversation of shooting a tiny ten. Or really any non dangerous game animal.
