And given that we are dealing with two cartridges that are known for their incredible knockdown power, this is an important section if your choice is coming down to these two cartridges. Because of this, we wanted to take a look at the trajectories of these rounds with the rifle zeroed in at 100 yards Graph 5. For one, it is chambered in readily available rifles in every action style—except a pump. I am replying to Denis. This offers a unique price point for the platform, that is about ¼ of the standard rate for a precision mainstream production rifle in.
Closing Comments A hunter carrying a. And there are some differences in the cartridge specs as well as the types and weights of bullets more often used for each cartridge. The 165 Partition driven at 3230fps produces violent performance on game weighing between 80 and 180kg 180-400lb out to 680 yards, also giving excellent penetration where raking shots are to be encountered. S, banning the use of lead cored projectiles in order to save the environment from humanity. Of the premium designs, this projectile tends to shed more weight than is competitors but when matched appropriately to game weights, works very well. Hornady A-Max bullets are made in the weights 155, 168, 178 and 208 grains.
Like the short range trajectory, we measure the bullet drop inches out to 700 yards with the rifle zeroed in at 200 yards. We looked at the ballistic coefficients for all of these rounds and saw that the. Nosler Partition bullets are available in the weights 150, 165, 180, 200 and 220 grains. And while their names are similar, we are going to dive deeper into their performance specs in this comparison. Both are chambered in just about every hunting rifle made, including wonderfully affordable models like as.
Perhaps more important is how well the ammo cycles through your weapon, which it is the case that some ammo seems to work better with certain rifles than others. We can look back at some of the other ballistic characteristics we have already examined. Thank you for an excellent article. All of the ten rounds are interspersed in the graph which means each cartridge has the options for faster and slower rounds. Top Range Round For the.
If 90% of the hunters game weigh above 90kg, the. Yes, it can punish the shooter but with heavy tactical rifles and even potentially the use of effective muzzlebrakes the recoil can be managed. Stars Accuracy Anytime you bring up two cartridge types or even two different rounds of the same cartridge, the argument for which is more accurate eventually rears its ugly and opinionated head. In fact, in North America, with the right load, there is no large game that cannot be successfully, consistently dispatched with the best. As with all of the. When matched appropriately to game, this very basic projectile hits very hard, resulting in immensely fast kills. If you were to take the price of every round for each cartridge and average it, the.
These inherent properties contribute heavily to the match performance and success of the round. So, we gathered the long range data and presented it here Graph 6. The thing that stood out the most was there customer service. The Barrett name is synonymous with performance, especially when it comes to long range precision anti-personnel and anti-materiel use cases. With a good hit and a bullet of at least 150 grain, the 7mm would do the job most of the time on elk but the 300 never failed with even a mediocre hit. This is where the similarities end.
This head spaces the case at the shoulder and the belt at the same time, rather than the belt, at the rear of the cartridge. The was not the first, and is certainly not the last, large-capacity cartridge to fire. With a smaller area providing resistance, more momentum is conserved, and the projectile can drive further into the target. While both of these cartridges are used at the bench, they are also popular big game hunting cartridges which require a lot of stopping power. This projectile gives best results on game weighing between 90 and 200kg 200-440lb , out to ranges of around 550 yards. The 180 grain Hotcor is a good performer, never really prone to bullet blow up, producing wide wounds and acceptable penetration on large bodied deer. And that change in the difference is mostly due to the.
Correct bullet selection is necessary for the. We have also a 1,000 yard mark for further comparison. It was by no means the first cartridge designed in the magnum category as the popular 7mm Remington Magnum was released the year prior, but the. The first thing that we notice when looking at this graph is that all the rounds from each cartridge have pretty high ballistic coefficients and some from each have excellent ones. On impact, this kinetic energy is transferred to the target where it causes damage to surrounding tissue and organs. I do plan on reloading since I know that it will be necessary for optimal accuracy but am stuck as I have heard great things about both calibers.
Only a brand new powder showed data over 3000 fps. One big criticism of the. As with most core bonded designs, performance tends to wane at 2400fps, with wounds becoming much narrower at 2200fps and below. We compiled the energy data from the manufacturers of these ten rounds and graphed them below Graph 7. And while there are better performing rounds than others, there are options in both the.
Bullet Selection Correct bullet selection is necessary for the. There is an old and long standing argument, which is better, the 7mm Remington Magnum or the. I do not however like his light rifles. Again, like most of the other categories, there is a lot of overlap between the two cartridge types, at least with the rounds we have selected. If we zero at 250 yards and shoot the Hornady 178-gr. The only thing more deadly than a big 7 , in my experience is a 35 Whelan used at 250 yards or less, but that is another story.
