Cool story man but why don’t you do everyone a favor and delete the unit from the post. It’s not like any LE tag needs anymore publicity People can say what they want about other forums but at least they don’t allow this… -

Leupold CDS
I’ve used Hornady and Applied ballistics apps and prefer AB. There’s lots of free ones if you’re on a desktop. Only one I’ve really messed with is Bergers. They should all spit out the same solution or close to the same anyways. Sight height and using the correct pressure common mistakes so be... -

Do yourself and the animals a favor and invest some time into figuring it out on your own. None of this is very hard and unless you were dropped on your head too many times as a kid, it's not that hard to figure out. Put good information into any of the free ballistic calculators out there and... -

I took your question as "Do I need to figure our how this stuff works or should I just estimate and call it good?" No, you shouldn't estimate. You need to spend some time messing with a ballistics calculator to get a grasp on what you're trying to do -

I would definitely put it below grade if it were me. There's a farm in Belt that has two of them and they are amazing. Never thought I'd see a banana or lemon tree growing in MT- Fire_9

Ladder Test for finding powder charge
I think this worth noting for hunters and guys that participate in ‘practical competitions’. Get a load that’s ’good enough’ and then spend your time/money practicing real world scenarios instead of trying to get another 1/4-1/2” out of your load.- Fire_9

Small Bullets (.224) and BIG game
Right, I'm with you. You said there are very few people that should use a 22 cal centerfire for big game and I'm just curious what the difference is between using a .243 and say a 22-250, 22 creed, 220 swift or even a 223. I'm not saying they're the best choice for elk but antelope, deer, and...- Fire_9

So 80 grain 6 mm bullet is good but 80 grain 22 cal of similar construction is bad? This is where I really get myself wrapped around the axel with this stuff. The 243 is probably one of the most recommended cartridges for young/new shooters- Fire_9

I kind of enjoy this thought process and I'm not arguing with you but I'm just curious what the cut off is for enough gun. Is a .243 kosher with everyone?- Fire_9

I'm confused. Putting a bullet into the chest cavity of an animal is a varsity level move?- Fire_9

The smaller caliber/cartridge stuff can make sense to me. If the projectile creates a sufficient wound channel, that's all that matters. The one argument against it that I've heard and can get on board with is that it's more difficult to pinpoint/spot where you hit an animal. You can spot shots...- Fire_9
