Default RE: little article on Karamoja Bell

Looks like the 75 grain .224's run a SD of .214; about as good as it gets, but it calls for twist that reportedly tears the usual varmint bullets up just due to spin. I was grateful when the Army decided the old 5.56 ball was just too light and went to a heavier bullet and lower twist. But I am retired now (hope it stays that way!) so I will have to let the Mattel Toy live out its silly life.

Interesting that Boddington excluded the .22 Hornet, which has (roughly) the same foot lbs as a .357 Mag at 100 yards. Heh, heh, I read an old article from back in the days the .357 was introduced, some gun writer guru took it out for Grizzly. We would commit him in these parts. Hope I haven't offended those hunting the big bear with 357's. We all have our thing.
