Trystan let it go. This still has a chance of being a useful thread. You've made 20+ posts (no I didn't count) and if you haven't made your point by now it's not going to happen.

Love me some Randy Travis.... was humming this tune all afternoon... whilst packing out my bull.
Seems appropriate.... might wanna read it twice Trystan...

I'm impressed you put that much thought into me Dog.
I'm ending the little child games here. Have a good one bud and good luck hunting this year.

I put exactly zero thought into you.... other than for the comedic value.

He's less than 25 years old. Types like a 12 year old....

So, I take it you're declining my offer of a wager?
If so, you may want to quit calling others cowards.

My Barrett seems to want to shoot the 147. I hope to use it on something furry in the next few weeks. First groups fired were between 0.4-0.8 MOA... Jordan I may have missed it, but how fast are you able to move the 147's out of your creedmore. My initial results indicate that I can get about the same velocity with my .260 as I could with other 140s .

Another data point: 147 ELD-M from a 6.5x47L, 516 yards, ~ 2150 fps impact velocity. Hit 1/3rd up the body, right behind the leg bone twice. Quick but not instant kill. Quarter sized wound through the fleshy part of the onside leg, no exit, no autopsy. Would use again, would only recommend to someone who understood the penetration qualities and limitations.
Empirical results rule!

Roger that I actually came close, not cause I think any other rifle would do better but just to free up some cash. Decided to hang onto it instead, I like the matching Bighorn battery, very flexible.

Nice work Carl. I killed a bull with my 6.5x47 this year as well, but not a good one like that. Can't say enough about that cartridge.

Thanks pointer! You just have to put them at ease by looking like every other backpacker they've seen all summer.

Your buddy, SM in WY, has the same philosophy! I use real camo as the critters aren't used to seeing fat backpackers...

Nice, should be more then effective. I am hoping to get one into a deer , Only God knows if that will happen though.

More data, two 147's launched at 2670 or so (6.5x47L not pushing it). 375 yards. One shot a couple inches behind the shoulder, smaller than a quarter exit. Slightly quartering towards, may have only caught one lung. Was still on his feet after 10 yards so I put a second shot in the shoulder. Broke the bone but didn't make a big mess. Got into the chest cavity but didn't exit. No chest autopsy, so no bullet recovery. Would use again.
