    Moa Hunter liked post by Barry the hunter On thread : Hunting block for sale
    hmmm 10 on that block would mean limiting them to one deer a year ( I know it well ) simply not the numbers of animals - better blocks on market for a larger group

    Moa Hunter liked post by gimp On thread : .270 muzzle speed
    So the issue is that the magnitude of these effects is so much smaller than the realistic uncertainty and precision of all the measurements in your system. Using a .4 G1 270 bullet at 2800 fps, a...

    Moa Hunter liked post by Woody On thread : .270 muzzle speed
    BC changes with velociy so as a bullet slows the bc value drops. A single bc value will not apply at velocities outside the one it actually applies to. A bc value applied to say 3000fps will not...

    The outcome will be that the police, army, and criminals will have firearms and 200,000 people that were the most trustworthy part of society will resent the police

    Moa Hunter liked post by Shearer On thread : 223 on deer
    Not sure I agree. I would be reluctant to shoot a big red stag or Bull Tahr (at say 200 yards) in the most solid part of it's shoulder with a 70-80gn 22cal bullet where as I would have no hesitation...

    Moa Hunter liked post by gimp On thread : .270 muzzle speed
    Shooting for drops and working back to calculate muzzle velocity isn't a very precise method. 100fps difference in speed only results in about .1mil different drop at 300m with your bullet, a .1mil...
