Kind of funny because that piece of state ground you hit as you go north out of the state park in thermop.. about 3 miles out.. just about a half mile or so past the first public boat launch as the road veers north.

Anyways I was shooting a ton over there and it was enlightening how much more consistent a guy is getting hits with a fast twist 223 vs say a 300 win mag if ur replicating hunting scenarios.. and I had a good 40 of them from my previous 3 months in New Zealand.


the 300 got better and better as weight got added, and a brake... and finding a lower node... with a light bullets.

Kept ripping spark plugs just to see.



Recoil matters.. especially if shot positions are compromised.

200gr eld-x over the top vs 77gr tmk through the lungs.
