Yeah Bowmar almost shit himself trying to do it. ( I don't think he could even pull back 150 pounds) And he almost caved in the skull of his assistant while stringing the bow, the string slipped under tension, and the tip barely missed crushing his assistant's skull. I really liked Bowmar's...

Its all bullcrap!!! Nothing, and I mean nothing, will increase your draw poundage except for.... pulling back your bow or pulling back bands like a bow. Bowmar can't even pull back a 200-pound bow, not even halfway through! Even though his being a gym junkie for life. Who's taken enough...

It's cool for sure, but I'm quite certain it's not hearing safe

How are you getting 2900FPS with a 225-grain bullet?

Please give us the down low on what type of arrows you're using and the broad head.

If you like to reload, pick the 300 WSM, it would have the same performance with way less powder, less recoil and better barrel life. New brass from Lapua. There are a lot of things to like about the 300 WSM now.

I also have the same problem, exactly the same I just decided it was easier to shoot the handgun a browning High Power, right handed. Also I had to learn how to do archery right handed aswell no way to get around that using your left hand

Start with bands, dont go hard but go enough that you feel the burn and the blood pumping there. That's what you want fresh blood at the injury site. If the full range of motion hurts, do half range of motion etc etc

Thank you for that, I was bound to make a mistake. Luckily the calculation is still correct. which surprised me, not much difference between a fast 350gr and a moderate 500gr. Thank you, I would appreciate that. It would be nice to know how they went about it; they obviously have mountains of...

"The accompanying table presents a comprehensive evaluation of various big bore cartridges, employing a weighted scoring system to balance desirable attributes against the detrimental effects of recoil. To ensure objective comparisons, raw data was normalized using Z-scores and subsequently...

5 The bullets perform better than ever, with more variety than ever.

Rationalizing Big Bore Cartridge Performance: A Data-Driven Analysis Choosing the right big bore cartridge for hunting can be a complex decision. Often, discussions are dominated by personal preferences, anecdotes, and emotional arguments, making it challenging to objectively assess cartridge...

G'day guys here is my final revision, I've included more load and calibres and done all the calculations for recoil energy and recoil velocity myself. When I wrote my first version was quite tired and some parts of it was crude and hard to read. Hopefully this version will be a marked...

For some reason, people are quick to jump up and tell me my premises are flawed—mainly because they think I forgot about bullet selection, which they argue is the most important factor. Then, of course, the hunter’s skill and experience become the most important aspect, too. So what’s the point...

Did you have to change the bolt face diameter?

The 500 Jeffery will be added!

If anyone wants the 600grain, 505Gibb added to the list, they will need to give me some handload or a copy of some factory data because I cannot find any at all!!! Also, thanks to everyone that has appreciated the table, and I'm working on another revision that will hopefully include more...

G'day John, I couldn't find any factory loads, so this data is from Quickload, so it's probably not as good as reality. and the pressure is too high. 416 Taylor 400gr DGX, 70.3 reloader 15, 64840PSI I would argue the data has some relevance. If I had to pick winners for each group based...

318AE - Remind me how many animals have you taken in Siberia at -28 °C? Numbers are numbers if you don't like them, stick your head in the sand!

@Northern Recoil table is here, https://chuckhawks.com/recoil_table.htm This is the only factory load data I could find on the internet for 458 Lott at 2300fps 500 gr DGS 86.0 gr 2520 (Accurate) 2310fps 61000psi Hodgdon Only for the price of 9 more foot pounds of recoil though...

@Mark A Ouellette G'day Mark This post concerns the dangerous games cartridges' efficiency and effectiveness on animals, not just efficiency. Suppose you can click on the table with the pretty colours. In that case, you will make it bigger, you will see a column for momentum, sectional density...

Just wait until your 416 Rem barrel wears out then rebore it to 458 Lott :))

Its a great design for its time, maybe it makes up for its other slightly low numbers in performance with its low recoil and high sectional density!

For recoil sensitive and cost yes, for style no. Don't mind my teasing about 416 Rigby, I just like to stir the pot a little.

Here's how it would work out, for the numbers you gave me. Pretty much a 416 Rem Mag with a long neck :)) 0.30% - 4.17 - 0.344 - 0.132

((sips drink, yeah this is going to be a big one)) Well, I'm back and have decided after feedback from my last thread to improve my data table to analyse the best big bore cartridges for you! Why do all of this? I would like to rationalise the performance of cartridges and their bullets. To...

@CBeck I want to share my recent experience on this subject and hopefully give some good advice, along the way. I wanted to get a scope for my 375H&H because I've been using a red dot which is great but past 100/150 meters the target becomes too blurry for me to be accurate. I live in...

I think Swarovski is buying the glass the scope from Meopta i bet if you compared the specs they would be the same. Both companies have a lot of scopes with the same specs. Z6i 2.5-15X44MM? optika 6 2.5-15X44MM? On another note what do people think about 3-18x50mm, for a 375 h&h? It would be...

G'day @JG26Irish_2 Great post thanks for posting this! I think if you did this experiment you would be absolutely correct, once fired I would have no idea. But I think if you did the experiment where you had 3 groups of people. One with the 30-06, one with the 7x57 and one with the 308 and if...

Honestly, I don't think you read my post at all. because I don't understand what you are trying to infer. My post was about cartridge groups compared to each other. Which made the most power/energy for the least amount of energy input/ powder I am NOT trying to infer that everything can be...

No tempest in a Teapot intended. I seem to have been misconstrued a lot by people. Also, my writing is a bit ruff as well. Basically, I just wanted to highlight that laser beam trajectory cartridges(300WIN MAG 7mm REM MAG) aren't as necessary as they used to be for hunting nowadays. Because we...

@Tom Leoni Thank you for your comment, I agree with everything you have written. As to the efficiency of black Nitro? I do not have a clue and I think this is the fun part of doing all these data tables, are all the surprises you get when everything is done and you can compare them. If you...

Thanks for the comment, what you say is true and hobbies should be a passion However, I don't think the data and this discussion is just arguing about semantics. For some people, they are limited in the number of different guns they can own because of the legal laws in their country. For some...

I was very limited by my Norma data. They did not have the historical load available. That said it is more fair to analyse all 40 cal with the same performance level. If you have factory load data for the moderate velocity I would love it add. Cheers!

VW bug is a very popular car in Africa, it is also very efficient!!!:LOL:

Thank you for your comment! I have explained why I think efficiency is important in other posts, but of course not at the sacrifice of reliability or safety. I was very limited by Norma's data but if you have any factory 416 Taylor data I would love to add it as well! The data is just a piece...

My opinions are just my opinions based on efficiency, not on effectiveness and meant to be thought-provoking. I tried to keep all calibres with close sectional density, and bullet weights. Every cartridge I listed will all be effective at their respective jobs!!! "simple subject by...

"The 416 Rigby is a cartridge built for the cameras, not built for work!" This comment is meant to be tongue-in-cheek but it does have some historical merit as all the British game wardens did use the 404 Jeffery instead of the Rigby. And it is easy to see why! The 404 Jeffery is arguably...

G'day gents, Lately, I've been humming and hawing about the most logical spread of big game cartridges to own for one's collection. After much deliberation, I've decided to create a spreadsheet calculation of the efficiency percentage of all the most popular hunting cartridges. Why should we...

Hello gents, a couple of years ago I purchased a 308, because I wanted to go deer hunting and now for some strange reason I some how find myself here, with a 375H&H MRC in the gun safe as well.
