Like you said, it’s not the cartridge that is the problem. It’s all the hype and lies that surround it. It’s a reasonable moderate range hunting cartridge. It does a respectable job punching paper and banging steel at long range. What it isn’t is the end all be all long range hunting cartridge. Yet, if you listen to the needmoor fanboi’s it’s the ultimate long range hunting cartridge ever. They act like it will flatten everything in the next area code.

It's amazingly versatile like the 25-06, with less recoil, powder, better bullets. 100 gr ELDVTs are flat to 350 yards, and maintain speed well to 800, with FAST twist being required. Same gun with a 143 ELDX is maintaining speed out to 800 yards, better than a 25-06, less windage, less drop, less temp sensitivity. It's the BEST version of an all rounder. The best angle to manufacture brass consistently, 30* The most consistent burn, sending a 100 gr the same speed with 3/4 of the powder of a 25-06 6.5 bullets have always been big in long range, so lots of efficient choices, Easy to train, efficient, flexible...

SD is simply the weight of the projectile divided by the cross-sectional area, therefore all 55 gr. .224 projectiles have the exact same SD. Sectional density is almost pointless when it comes to terminal performance especially when it comes to hunting bullets. This is because the cross-sectional/frontal area changes as soon as it starts to expand and not al bullets expand at the same rate. Case in point, in .308 look at something like the Speer 130 grain Varmint Hollow Point versus the Barnes 130 grain TTSX. That's an extreme example, but they have the same SD but very different terminal performance. Bullet construction is the name of the game. Energy dispersion does not kill anything! Destruction of vital organs and blood loss is what kills. An exit hole can promote blood loss and be beneficial in increasing a blood trail, but is more important for ensuring enough penetration to reach and destroy the vital organs from less than optimal angles. Not as important for smaller animals (fox, coyote, bobcat, etc.) since almost all centerfire cartridge are more powerful per weight of critter than the typical rounds used for a given large game species.

I stumbled on to this video and just had to laugh at myself. In trying to keep predators off my lamb crop a few years ago I couldn't feed my 22-250 or my .204. The .308 was overkill but I could find ammo. I totally revamped how I thought and rebuilt my arsenal around available ammo. Now I'm happily regunned and restocked with .223, 9mm and .308. My priorities did a 180 from want "might" work best to what I could actually aquire. I'm in Central Texas hills and brush seldom shoot past 200 yards.

Wade, hope this helps…I’d say the simplest way to describe high sectional density instead of saying high B.C. is to say “heavy for caliber”…they’re essentially synonymous. The same grain weight in an old school lead round nose and a polymer tip ELD-M could have very different BCs but may have the same sectional density.

A lot of people subscribe to Wade theory that a bullet that exits an animal is not as effective as a bullet that expends all its energy inside the animal. I always waffled on this idea but tonight I began to consider Velocity as it relates to the bullets damage in an animal. For a bullet to stay inside the cavity, it goes from initial velocity upon entering the animal to Zero once stopped. Wouldn’t a bullet that passes completely through an animal have transferred far more energy, thus killing power if its mass could retain enough velocity to pass through the animal. I am assuming a bullet that mushrooms and not a solid.

a bullet has all of its energy at the point it hits, it cannot create more, so if a bullet goes through an animal it has taken the energy left from the point of exit with it. While a bullet that stops inside has dumped its full load without squirting any outside ;)

@Andrew-ql1cz Жыл бұрын
I think the variable you are thinking about recording is called momentum transfer. Also to the comment about how the size of the gel block matters, it does matter. Think about how many times you see the block expand and break the surface holding it up when the bullet impacts. You should be able to record the momentum transfer over time and test wide vs narrow gel blocks to see if the size matters.
@jerryhorton2899 Жыл бұрын
Until the figure out how to give a gel block a heart and lungs it’s not a valid way of testing. I can shoot my little 22-250 into a gel block and it’s mediocre but you should see the gob of goo it leaves inside a whitetail chest cavity. If people would bother to open up the animals they shoot we wouldn’t need gel testing or KZbin videos telling you what bullet you need to use on what game

Terminal ballistic performance vs External ballistic performance: it passes over the top of so many people’s heads on the internet and at gun store counters. Sexual Density plays a part in terminal performance but not as much as the projectile’s engineering, especially when the lighter projectiles being used in by predator hunters in ARC are being sent at significantly slower velocities then the use they were engineered around. Alloy density, jacket thickness/taper, meplate/tips and voids between the core etc. matter more than SD for energy delivery on target. I don’t believe it is likely measurable in the lighter weight 6mm projectile class but the performance can be observed 70~ gr and above.

You wanna talk about a bullet that drive deep just on reps along because its rotation is so fast that's 8.6 blackout. Let me tell you they have a hollow point that is just mean and will drill down. I mean penetrate deeply. 8.6 is 1 and 3 for barrel. I seen one take a Cape buffalo with one shot and that's a thick animal.
@formulajoe2 Жыл бұрын
Sectional Density is more about the mass of the projectile relative to its diameter. Higher mass bullets of the same diameter will always have a higher sectional density. Higher BC is usually a bi-product of that since you need more mass to make the bullet longer and “pointier”. Therefore the 6ARC with these lightweight bullets will have a lower SD (because of the larger diameter) and won’t penetrate as easily as say the 224V with the same weight bullet…. Dumps it’s energy and thumps them harder.
@formulajoe2 Жыл бұрын

@txpredatorhunting Жыл бұрын

@Andrew-ql1cz Жыл бұрын
It's the mass of the bullet over the area of the bullet. The area is the cross-sectional area of the bullet at its full diameter. The area is caliber dependent so comparing the SD for different weight bullets is what most people are doing. The SD doesn't change with respect to the bullet design if the mass and caliber are the same. Increasing the mass in the same caliber results in a higher SD while, increasing the caliber and keeping the mass the same would decrease the SD.

Your explanation of sectional density was not spectacular if I’m honest 😂 RPM’s don’t make that big of a difference in relation to damage to an animal. If you used a 1:7 or 1:9 223 you wouldn’t see a difference on a coyote. Weight of an animal matters I suppose but not in the way your guys were grappling with and comparing to cars of various weights. Weight matters mostly as it has to do with mass and density and how far you need to penetrate. Bullet construction is probably one of the most important factors for use case scenario. You don’t want to use a vmax when shooting deer/medium game and up, you want something that will expand reliably but just as important you need it to penetrate well. When shooting a coyote I want my bullet to explode and not have an exit wound
@txpredatorhunting6 ай бұрын
It wasn’t, I struggled in how to convey it in a way for all to understand. As for the rest of your statement I mostly agree. That said, no a small difference in barrel twist will not matter much when comparing apples to apples. That said, a significant increase in rpm’s will however affect a projectiles performance greatly. It’s a deep , long conversation I’ll revisit again soon. Because as I said , it all depends. As for “varmint bullets” on deer sized game. It still depends on velocity and rpm’s.

I think you're right on the money with your explanation. I get paid to hunt coyotes here in maine. I have hunted them with it 223. And i've had a lot of bullets just zip right through. And the coyote is still holding ass . One of the last ones I shot was 225 yards With a 53 grain Hornady V max. Right in the boiler room. Went forty feet and that was it with a good blood trail. The proof is in the pudding when it comes to the Correct ammo. Attach a piece of a r five hundred steel on the back of a small pig about as thick as a small doe. With your measuring device on the back. Almost like the punching bag thing at the fair. Sounds good In theory lol. But something that's not talked about as much at least around here. Why is the 6.5 creedmore. And the 243 ain't talked about as much. A little bit of mainer talk for you lol But when it comes to ballistics, they are almost identical until the eight hundred yard mark.

The problem I see with trying to figure how much energy you dumped is shot placement. If you shoot through on a double lung shot you didn’t dump nearly as much energy as you would on a double shoulder. The best way to solve this problem is use a bullet that doesn’t exit and place your damn shot where it goes. Problem solved and your animal is laying right where he was standing. Also I would disagree with you about BC not mattering at 400 yards, a better BC bullet in the same caliber can make 200-300 fps at 400 yards which make a noticeable difference in impact energy

Love the podcast. When it comes to the energy discussion. You are confusing a mathematical equation with terminal performance and expecting a certain amount of lethality to be obtained given a certain amount of energy. That simply isn't how it works. Ft Lbs of energy does not equal "killing force." Terminal performance of a bullet is designed around the bullet construction and speed of the projectile. They don't factor in ft lbs of energy into the bullet construction because it's just a math equation. Which IMO the entire ft lbs of energy equation is and has been misused by the firearm industry for decades and incorrectly correlated with "stopping power." And that's just not true.
