Slow is cartridge/loading issue, not a bullet design issue. The original poster had asked about his 300 WSM. Velocity with that cartridge would be considerably higher.
As for the partition, I would say it is more correct to say that it is designed to not lose the base and guarantee...
Please don't misconstrue what I said as suggesting that hunting a leopard is no different than hunting a whitetail, only that they are similar sized animals. Tracking a whitetail is no big deal but it doesn't even take a room temperature IQ to realize that tracking a wounded leopard is...
I have never hunted leopard but it seems to me that something like a Federal fusion or Nosler partition would be ideal. We are talking about a thin skinned animal about the size of a southern whitetail. The penetration of a mono metal or a-frame shouldn't be needed. Relatively fast and...
Handguns have their place but I have to agree with what the others have already said with one exception. To say that any handgun is marginal at best, even on plains game is definitely not giving some the credit they deserve. That said, the loads in question are absolutely less than marginal...
Oh boy, this is fairly deep question with a lot to consider. Of course, know the laws in your area and know specifically what the law allows. Learn what to say and more importantly what not to say should the unfortunate day arise when that firearm is needed. Warning shots in any jurisdiction...
Noreen makes a 338 Lapua version. Since that is a necked down Rigby, that would allow use of the 416 and 450 Rigby as well as the 378, 416, and 460 Weatherbys.
Only 3? If we are talking 3 for everything, I would probably have to say 22lr, 12 gauge, and 30-06. If we are talking centerfire rifle rounds...
1- 30-06 This was the first rifle I bought and I got lucky because I didn't know my rear end from a hole in the ground back then. That Savage is...
There is certainly a practicality to limiting the number of calibers to only those most important for certain tasks and being intimately familiar with their trajectories and capabilities as well as having fewer types of ammo to keep up with. That said, variety is the spice of life and the more...
