Which is why I try to have a different stroke.

Another commonly heard rule is shoot for the opposite shoulder. Why not also shoot for the one facing you when you can?



Always made a ton of sense to me... wink




The 280 Remington is overbore.

The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

Cant answer that. Every deer I ever shot THRU the shoulders with the 120 had 2 holes. Every one i shot IN the shoulder with the 140 looked like a bomb went off. If a 140 is desired use the 140NAB.

we used to shoot fast stepping 7x57s with 140 NPs and I definitely did not like the effect on deer. Too much wasted meat.

Here where I live a moderate velocity 160 or 175 is a better solution given typical shot distances.


The way life should be.
