FWIW BIG GAME PALLA B&P LEAD FREE - Hunting Shotshell

.273 sounds a lot more realistic considering the bullets shape.

Gamehead is a conventional soft point Hammerhead is a bonded soft point Supper hammerhead is a Hammerhead with a boat tail With the current colour coding green is lead free, blue is controlled expansion and red fast expansion. Yellow ones would be before the colour coding change.

It’s a fascinating rabbit hole you can get lost in. I would suggest looking into info from as many sources as possible and filtering them, which granted becomes easier the more you get to know about it Some people like pretty fragile bullets that upset easily and make big relatively shallow...

Not just read about it ,seen it. Because “it will be fine , it fits.”

Daaamn those are nice boots

As I said to you when we chatted. Tikka or Sako Finnlite if you want to throw a few more quid in. Though Malxwal’s suggestion of chatting to @BE Precision is an excellent one.

Militaries and law enforcement often use things because logistics more than best capability. The 308 was and is used as a sniper cartridge for decades not because it was necessarily the best best choice, but because it was in the system and would work well enough. When they started using the...
