Fabs, maybe I could introduce you all to the GM line of 4x4's...

Model 70.........The velocity issue with bullets going super super sonic speeds has been addressed several times by the professional hunters around the world.

The conclusion when hunting DG game was that bullets going 2400fps penetrated and stayed together far better than those that were shot faster or slower. Just food for thought gentlemen!

Now if yall want to talk pullin trucks, thats fine and Dandy with this Ole Boy, ya hear. Cause I got a retired 78 Chevy in the back with a bored out 460 Ford sittin in the cradle that can flat out be classified as a stump puller or pullin truck on the circuit by golly.
I figure she churns out right near 850 hp's give or take a nickel's worth. Trucks name was "BAD ATTITUDE" my buddy's was called "WILD THING"

you could hand me a rifle from 223-300win and id find a way to take deer with it.

some calibers may limit my shots to being at close range, id have to let some go. otheres i would have more opurtunitys at game when its at funny angles and further away.

calibers in the mid to upper end give the best results. arent realy to over kill and produce very good results.

so flip a quarter be marked at birth whatever the cause may be, find something that works with you and for and get to know the rifle make it a part of you. no matter what that caliber ends up being itl in the end wind up being the perfect rig for you. regardless of bullet size and speed.

the 270win clung to m at birth, literlay i didnt have any choice. dad got the rifle the year i was born. i received the rifle brand new in the box some 10 years later. it has been with me ever since and were inseperable.,

Speed kills. More shock and terminal damage.

you ever watch that movie, "Three Kings" i think thats what its called. it shows the internals of a human bodas bullet penetrates it.

it shows the terminal shock very well. as the bullet impacts and penetrates it litleraly turns the blood flow in veins backwords. and sends blood through tissue. kinda like atom bomb were you see the shock waves leaving the bomb in all directions, youd just have to see it know what im talking about.

Ive seen it.

Unless your shootin somethin big that chargin ya, I would rather have the speed any day over lumbering penetration. Especailly on deer size game and varmints.

If you subscribed to the 2400fps thing, I guess the 30-30 Win would be the ultimate deer rifle.

Yipppeeee, go 30-30.

Andy

I'll bet that F-350 makes a big impression pullin up to the Courthouse, don't it!

Evan,

There isn't much to post about the stang. I've changed every single piece of the suspension. It has Koni struts and shocks, Moroso sway bars, camber/caster plates, SVT lowering springs with an increased poundage on them, polyurethane bushings everywhere except the rear upper control arms which have aluminum bushings, new A-arms, and rear lower and upper control arms, Steeda 8x17 inch rims with Yokohama 225/40's up front and Bridgestone Potenza RE71's on the rear in 255/40's, and it has a little exhaust work and air intake work done to it. I haven't taken it to the track yet in the 15+ years that I have owned it. Oh yeah, it has a smidge over 33,000 miles on it.

I posted the pic before I read everybody else's replies. I cannot believe how this thread has taken off over today.

Skinny,

I think I will pass on the GM 4x4's. A Ford has lasted both my dad and my brother and they are both horrible on cars and trucks.

Hawkeye,

I did take the section 179 deduction on the truck in 2003 and have used it to meet with several of my clients, but I have yet to take it to the courthouse. I don't even think it would fit under the parking garage. At the beginning of the year, I met with a new client that owns a drywall company and he was surprised to see me pulling up in the F-350, not because he didn't think I should have it, but because it was just like his. He kind of knows my background (i.e., dad and uncle in construction), so he wasn't surprised by it.

Here is a pic of the stang:

I see your point when it comes to speed but does it really hold true? I mean, what would happen if you were to push a 100gr nosler ballistic tip at around 3500 fps and hit bone? Now wouldn't a 130 or 140gr bullet at around 3000 fps be a more versatile choice?

I did just that exact thing on a deer two years ago with that bullet at approx that speed, maybe a tad faster, at 200 yards.

Broke the shoulder, of course, demolished the lungs, heart and some other internal organs, and broke the shoulder on the other side.

130gr bullet travelling slower may have held together better, but I dont think that deer would have been any deader. Could be wrong??
