I do not understand why folks like weight for rifles and archery. remember E=velocity squared times mass.

I still have boxes of TTSX Barnes bullets in 139. My experience has killed deer out to 930 yards (=- 5yrds) and bear to 425. All of them just dropped nary a twitch. I did try 168 Bergers originally, then 220 Berger. At 100 yards they were all over the place and the 220 were even worse.
I was at Marksman in Lethbridge picking up powder. we discussed my dilemma and sold me a box of TTSX 139. After some adjustments started to nail drive out to 300 yards bench of course.
Those 7mm 220gr bergers are so rare that they are probably worth more than bitcoin. Good thing they shot for shat for you. But thats not the only shat im smelling
