Yeah starting to believe that 24's are just a novelty and a waste of my time.
I did not mean to imply that with my post.
I've loaded and hunted with.....
6 x 45.
6 x 47 (x2)
6mm BR Remington
243 Win
6mm-284,
240 Weatherby.
Ive killed stuff with all of them with no problem.
For me its more about the terrain where I hunt, and the fact that I'm a meat hunter.
I prefer two large leaky holes caused by tough bullets at moderate velocity.
If I have to track, expecially at night, I want a blood trail a blind man can follow and I like to be able to eat right up to the bullet hole.
I have found that small diameter/frangible bullets typically do not give me the blood trail I desire should the critter not be DRT, and those at magnum velocities do a bit more meat damage than suits me.
ya!
