I seriously think the receivers are dropping the ball on purpose to get Manning back. I've never seen such bad play.

Here's my mountain man persona. I look like the old coot already. I just need some buckskins.

Nice picture. Colorado is a beautiful state and the people are nice. Got some good friends who are elk and deer hunters that live in the St. Louis Valley.

Was he using a .300 mag?

Yes, he was using a .300 Win Mag. and his killer handoads with Partition bullets: 180 grain, i think.

mountain man my rear end, I've never once read about a one eyed mountain man! Not even after a grizzly attack!

You need to move to florida and become a pirate :D :D

I'm original. A mountain man with a patch on his eye.

I like it!

Keep one thing in mind when talking about any bullet. Equal powder charges of course. If you have a 100grn bullet, and move up to a 200grn bullet you double the energy. But if you have a 100grn bullet, and you double the speed of that bullet, you quadruple the energy. Speed kills, and it wouldn't be any different with a PRB.

Grouse what you're saying may be true but there is no practical way for a hunting situation to in a given caliber to go from 100 gr to 200 grain. Now if we take a .50 cal (.490) PRB and compare it to a 370 gr Maxiball using the same powder charge there is no comparison. The Maxi will win hands down in the energy dept but it will be moving slower. Its just simple physics. (same energy (charge), different weight = different velocity).
The question arises is when with that energy be expended. Will all of be spent in the animal or will it pass through?
