Bought new rifle, Old Sako AV in 9.3 X 300 WM - 2967 FPS with 286 NPs

Awesome work. Who needs a .375 anything when you have that beast in the safe?

Absolutely, flatter than a 7 Mag and hits like a 378 Wby.............what more could one ask for?...........Now if I could get it to recoil like a 243............that kinda defies the laws of physics. We don't mention brakes in this house, by the way, before anybody pipes up with that scenario.
 
Gentlemen; my delving into the world of external ballistics has absolutely nothing to do with terminal ballistics.
Gatehouse and Bearkilr, an animal can only be dead once and I agree that any NA animal will succum to a 30-06. This has nothing to do with what I do with rifles and cartridges. My quest is to wring out the utmost from any cartridge, is it necessary, of course not. It is my hobby and my interest, no different than racing cars. Is a 250 MPH car necessary to fetch groceries, no, but if you want to do an 8 sec 1/4 mile it is. Is an 8 sec 1/4 mile necessary, of course not, but the quest is, in order to further the sport and the knowledge.
Reloading is no different, with all the new powders and projectiles the sky is the limit. This is what I do for fun and entertainment, I used to race cars, bungi jump, skydive, rodeo, womanize, hunt dangerous game with bows, fly light aircraft in unflyable weather, drink too much and fight. Now I load the sh!t out of rifles to see what they are capable of. It has nothing to do with hunting, and is solely for my own entertainment and knowledge of exterior ballistics. I will share the results with the people here who are interested, and those who disagree with my quest are free to not partake in my dissertation.

For those who don't know Doug often takes a 250mph car downtown to get groceries...and stalls it when he pulls up to the shop....damned low torque Ferrari's.... :D

Faux pas are only sacred when not witnessed. :p And yes I'm quite jealous I don't have one to stall.....although hearing your talk of the leg room maybe I'm glad I don't have one to stall...

Anyway back on topic...do you have any big plans to do some more testing on game this fall? I'm curous as to how the partions will perform on soon to be formerly living things.

I won't be using the partitions, I'm hoping it loves the 270 gn Matrix, if so I've decided this will be the rifle I will take for my moose/grizzly hunt this Sept........hard to beat a cartridge that flies like a 7 Mag and hits like a 378 Wby.
