And you feel the reason to brag for what reason? If you have read the entire thread then the reason for the post should be clear. If not then keep wondering.
I got banned on another web site for a debate that happened on this site. That's a first

Match shooting and BG shooting are two different disciplines.Blow a 2 minute wind call in a match and you can correct and the only thing hurt is your score. Blow it on an animal,and you have a rodeo.BG shooting calls for more discretion. I agree 100% and there are some here that need to learn some discretion about when not to shoot.

I have read a lot about different options but was wanting some real world experience. I have considered the 123 scenar, 139 scenar or the 130 or 140 Berger. I'm curious to hear about big game taken with the 123 Scenar at 260 velocities.

I'm curious if a 1:9 260 will spin a 139.

Hey Pat, serious question. I always thought the same bullet/twist was more stable the higher the altitude? Do I have that backwards?

...but I don't think that's unusual. The guide told us a story of a client of his that wanted to shoot something and it was getting to the end of the hunt. He spotted a ram for him and the client shot it. When they got up to it the guide exclaimed, "You blew his balls clean off!" It was a ewe...  Dude.... Are [bleep] kidding me? That's gotta be one of the stupidest [bleep] things I've heard come out of your mouth and I thought you did a swell job of filling an ark with jibber jabber in the 4 days I was in your presence... I didn't realize till a couple days ago you tried to mislead the masses with your claim of a 500yd " kill" shot on the second ram.... Wounding, horn shots don't count Rick... You wanna publicly tell me I'm wrong on that? You know that is complete horse schit. You' re about Coldboremiracle level in my book.... He was only stupider enough to make a video of it and blast it all over the internet... Animal recovery aside... With all your "expertise", the internet bravado you put up and your match shooting, ninja skills ( which you swear makes you a better hunter) you think you would have had sense enough not to botch that shot. OR realize you were in over your head and wait for the ram to feed closer.... After all... Isn't that what they were doing? But I guess 500 yards sounds better on the internet, eh? Burns and Rick on an Aoudad hunt together... Not sure W Tx is ready for that kinda entertainment. Like Elmer said, "Hell, I was there". Once was good enough for me.... That's freaking hilarious....

It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

I'm curious if a 1:9 260 will spin a 139. The 139 is a good bit shorter than the 140 berger, which helps.

My guess would be that 139's are fat guys in a little coat. ![[Linked Image]](http://i756.photobucket.com/albums/xx210/16bore/24%20Hr/scenar123108_zpsmuzj36dj.jpg)

Well when I get my gun in ill let y'all know how it does. After all this reading I think I want to try and get the 123 or 130s to shoot in mine.
Anybody have a few 123 scents or 130 bergers I can buy a few of, rather not buy a full box for load development.
