    Oldbloke liked post by Flyblown On thread : 223 on deer slower twists
    Part of our problem when talking about this stuff is we don’t define what a deer is. There’s a big difference between a fallow doe and an old heavy red hind. If someone told me that a 55gr SP at 3200...

    All true. You can do almost everything you need to do with a .308 and a .223 but it's not new and exciting and that is what sells, at least to some of us. The question is it new and better or just...

    I don't know what crap sources JD bases his opinions (or load data either for that matter) but it was called 275 Rigby as a marketing term nearly from the get go (or is this picture "fake news" too)...

    I'm not convinced, if they are harder/stronger will they require special dies ? It seems a waste to gain extra velocity then still only push a 150gn projectile, in that context its not really going...
