If you are talking Internal Ballistics. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overbore O(verbore) ratio = V(olume) case / A(rea) of the bore Higher values of O generally equate to longer barrel life and diminished returns of velocity as the O ratio increases, assuming equal pressure. Terminal...

Even at 300yds, three of the offered bullets BC is almost double the old 117s and 120s. That is significantly less wind drift, which is the rule in Prong country. Not that people haven't been successful hunting them for a very long time. Really, it is about Weatherby selling their 6 lug...

I think the very difficult problem is you're on that edge where some rifles will handle and some won't. Nobody will question AFrames, but you're writing in the margins if they will be reliable with your specific rifle.

Perhaps loading to throat geometry, case intrusion, and pressure are important. I suspect you mean your not worried about spec OAL, if the magazine and load supports it.

Even documentaries are subjective, told from a point of view. Perfect media doesn't exist. Even medical books are routinely reprinted, and bulletins put out to update mistakes or newly learned information.

I did the 6.5 RPM when it came out, in the Backcountry2 with an NX8 scope. I didn't really have a sheep rifle I was happy with. It showed up at Three Bears grocery store, and it worked just fine here and in Africa on plains game. Works boringly well without any drama. It is just a longer 284...

338/300 Norma are based on the 338 Lapua case shortened, which is based off the Rigby case.

My experience is: Those cameramen are far more than professional videographers. Every one I met was almost a backup PH/tracker to start with. They are part of the solution, not part of the problem. Their rigs are heavily customized to handle stalking all day long, and to keep all the dirt...

None of the helmets worn were correct. They all would have been HUD that obscures the actors faces.

I answered it very directly, and so did Russ16. You just don't like it. All of Alaska is a giant swamp, even the mountains are soaking wet. Same with most of Yukon Canada. Like Russ said, most rifles up here turn into beaters. It is a romantic fantasy to think most Alaskans back in the day...

I believe you (25-06), but I tried a 21" and went back to a 25". For me the results were really ugly. I suspect it is borderline, because I've heard it both ways

And stellar results. Hammers work.

Wood stocks do get destroyed in alder thickets. They do warp when wet. Moose hunting isn't Elk hunting on solid ground It is in boreal swamps, which tears up absolutely everything. Minute of moose is probably 8" (MOA) at 100 yds. But, lots of stocks and scopes are destroyed by then. Every...

So, you're kinda going backwards in a sense. If your goal is a short barrel, than long ratio cartridges become inefficient. There is a lot more to it then how many fps you lose (powders, blast, chamber to match bullets). You would still probably be very happy with a 257 AI or 25-06, but if...

It is a bit sickening watching villagers shoot a moose 30 times with a mini14.
