With respect, have you ever shot a 9mm?
That couldn’t be farther from the truth
Don’t just take my word for it just google successful defenses of grizzly bear with a 9mm, they actually have a 100% success rate and all the ones on record not only stopped but killed the grizzly and the same can be...
It’s definitely doable, I used to think just like most others, that a 9mm was just a step up from a 22lr in power but after seeing what it is capable of, first hand, it changed my opinion.
As long as you have a properly constructed bullet a 9mm is far more powerful than given credit for
You definitely had the wrong Ammo then.
9mm Luger extreme penetrator has over 4 feet of penetration, hollow points aren’t the best for penetrating but I can assure you with the correct bullet construction a 9mm Luger will have no problem punching a clean hole through an elk skull, I know this...
The 6.5 Grendel will do anything the .243 can do with less recoil, which neither have much to begin with, and you can easily find 6.5 Grendel upper receivers I an AR15 plus you get a bigger bullet with the 6.5 Grendel.
Go with the 6.5 Grendel
Trust me you’ll be glad you did
Are you kidding me?
The 6.5 Grendel is 26 caliber compared to 24 in the .243
The .243 has 100 ft lbs more energy at the muzzle, which honestly isn’t even measurable when it comes to what it does to the animal it hits, but the 6.5 Grendel passes the .243 in energy around 300+ yards so I’d love...
You put a mag of 9mm extreme penetrators in any animal in the planet and it’s taking the room temperature challenge,
it amazes me how much these “hunters” don’t know
You put a mag of 9mm extreme penetrators in any animal on the planet and it’s taking the room temperature challenge, PERIOD.
Even these souped up armor plated elk and grizzly people keep seeing in the woods
Why do people think you need a bazooka to kill something?
Usually the folks that believe you need these giant calibers to hunt with believe a big caliber will make up for the fact that they can’t shoot but I can assure you that it does not
A 9mm has around the same power as the old mountain man...
