Do low recoil cartridges with high sectional density projectiles kill above there pay grade? 😁

Good bullets properly placed always work, but not everyone knows what good bullets are, or can reliably place them in the field

Or the 160gr 7mm-08 / 7x57 users. Or the 140gr 260 / 6.5CM users.
Now with even more aplomb

Might be why there are so many new 6.5's on the market, someone finally figured that out.

Hope to have info on this combo this coming elk season. Daughter #1 will be using 150g ABLR.

A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.

I've always been a fan of high sectional density.. seems to work, fast or slow...

Hope to have info on this combo this coming elk season. Daughter #1 will be using 150g ABLR. I've used the 150 partition in the 270 for years and it was 100% reliable every time. I gave my 270 tikka to the son in law a year ago so unfortunately I don't have a 270 to test though I'm certain it will be a great combo with the 150 ABLR. With the 150 partition my two favorite loads were 61 gr of RL26 and 58.5 gr of H4831SC. Both loads were temp stable and accurate though I would lean more toward H4831SC for accuracy and RL26 if you want velocity. This year I'm useing a 6.5 swede and it's going to be either a 130 accubond or 142 ABLR I haven't decided just yet. Maybe use both on different game Best wishes to you and your daughter hunting this year sir Trystan

The 25-35 win. with 117 gr bullet is one that kills better on game than it's paper ballistics would have you believe.

Yeah I think with a modern single shot action a 100 grain bullet in the 25-35 should be able to do 2700 easily

Of course they do. The number one thing you can do to ensure a non-dangerous game animal goes down quickly and is easy to find if it runs at all is produce a large exit wound with an expanded projectile. The way you ensure your expanded projectile exits is sectional density - really expanded sectional density, but since expansion ratios are at least close to constant the un-expanded sectional density and weight retention is a good proxy.
This is why .270 is so weak in terms of terminal performance on large game.
A bullet that doesn't exit on anything but a straight on shot is a bullet failure.

Dumbassery on parade right there.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.
