on the other hand a 40gr bullet is 0.0952% of the weight of a 6lb pdog. that is why you get spectacular flips and explosions with high velocity bullets that dump their energy on small animals but not larger game. the bullet to weight ratio used on smaller game is so much larger than with larger game...

i think we can agree that 150gr 270 rounds have been sucessfully used and accepted to harvest elk for many years. when converted to pounds a 150gr bullet is 0.0214 lbs. that is 0.0027% of the weight of a 800lb elk. a 40gr bullet when converted to punds is 0.005714. this is 0.0029% of the weight of a...

oh, and by the way, when we hunt pigs we are trying to get rid of as many as possible. we take a few for meat, but most stay where they fall. i agree that feral pigs can be much easier than hunting normal game animals. their eye sight is very poor and they are curoiuse if they have never been messed...

*carolina* i didn't realize this was an english test. this is a forum for posting ones opinons, thoughts, and experience not a fromal document or article. i don't care if there are minor mis-spellings and, no i have never done well on spelling tests. this does not make the study or myself wrong by a...

look up a study done in south carlina. it was about the effectiveness of dogs in recovering game that had been wounded. they also kept track of what caliber projectile was used, shot placement, blood trail, and how far the deer ran. the conclusion was that caliber had little effect on lethality. bul...

as stated, i respect your hunting practices and beliefs and ask that you respect mine. thank you for keeping your responses civil. i was wondering if anybody else has had similar results using this caliber on medium game. There has got to be some people for the South, Texas or from California who ha...

as a side not I respect your views if you feel this is to small a cliber and disagree with my methods. I just don't want to fight about it because we are both set in our ways

many people don't understand that bullet construction and shot placement have far more to due with lethality that the size of the caliber. My usual deer rifle is a 25-06. We have a property where we will take large numbers of pigs at once so I started hunting with a kel-tec 223 because i could chang...

Any body else have experience taking game larger that varmints with a 204? Performance? I will try to dig out pictures of the deer to post.

*100% succes rate not 1005.

Just joined the forum! I wanted to sare my expirence with this fine little caliber. I harvested a deer with my sabre defense in 204 last season and it's performance was spectacular! I was planning on plugging a yote, but a nice buck presented himself insted. I capitalized on the situation and the pe...
