Bush rifle for 250yds

[brybenn]

I identify as white trash, so a Salvage Axel with a Burris on top is good enough for my purposes! I'm sure in time there will be a decent selection of rifles chambered for the round.

Hey I was thinking of spending more on a custom barrel than I did the 783 I was going to put it on so I don't know what that says about me.
As ugly as I find the savage axis they do shoot well. Cva was rumored to have the 400 in the scout line but I'm all about the rim for break actions
I hope it takes off

Regarding bush busting. https://www.outdoorlife.com/guns/brush-rifles-bullets-tested/
Id be interested to see some testing to compare a wide méplate hard cast bullet.

IIRC Sell used both, not sure about Seyfried and Page though.
The one bullet that pdeflected on me was a round nosed .311 at about 20 yards fro. The muzzle on a very small branch .
The deer was about 15 yardsast that .

My take on the concept, it will stretch to 250 if I’m practicing regularly. I did get a blued machine screw to run in the receiver where the goofy, noisy saddle ring used to live.

Omg. Literally Anything but rimfire or pistol caliber

I’m using a savage 99 in 308 29 plus years of hunting never lost animal and never had to pass on a shot because it was too far away

I remember reading Seyfried's article, basically a round ball was the only thing that wasn't terrible when hitting brush.

In the late 60's early 70s the shooters bible or digest had a article on US military testing of brush bullets. The basic conclusion was that bullets of the (same constitution), energy was the determining factor of deflection, Not caliber. A objective in motion stays in motion... the a light fast bullet deflated roughly the same as a slow hevey one,, as long as the bullet was the same constitution and, the energy was the same. More energy the straighter the path.
