Thread: The power of the 2506 AI

High velocity makes the 25's with flat trajectory. The spiker was shot with a 110 AB. Hole straight through so why do I need to go heavier ?. What went wrong with the 400mtr Tahr out of interest @southernman ??

I'm going to use 120s in .260 for the same reason. With bigger cals I don't sight the hit but see the animal on the ground kicking or trying to get up
