For shooting running boar, WM with an effective muzzle break is well tamed. Probably over kill for UK deer unless at v. Ultimately, the best choice will be the one you make! Nelsans Well-Known Member. Flash Well-Known Member Supporter. Unless you're regularly shooting big deer at long ranges go with the Should you get a wm Of course, historically, if you've got a.
For the origin of the. FWIW I think that the. But then you'll be forever searching for ammunition. But, again, any.
So maybe start with that. Or maybe just get a 7mm Rem Mag! AdrianC Well-Known Member. The will be ample for your needs in the UK and beyond. Mine has been to Africa several times and I've never felt undergunned on any of the larger plains game so it will be absolutely fine on anything you will come across in the UK.
It is cheaper to run, and more comfortable to shoot. Unless you are sniping at m and beyond or want long range target shooting the is the better option. I use Norma Oryx gr bullets and so far everything I've hit has dropped to one shot.
Up to m there is little discernable difference. That said, I have recently bought an M03 in. The only reason I added the. Stick to the and you won't be disappointed. Southern Well-Known Member. Each hunting cartridge has its advantages and disadvantages, and you need to be aware of these when choosing the caliber of your next target shooting or hunting rifle.
Both the Win Mag and the fire the same diameter bullet, 0. This means that they can typically fire the same 30 caliber bullets, so it makes reloading simpler for both calibers. The Win Mag is a full 0. However, once loaded, both the and the. The overall design of the Win Mag also lends itself to increased case capacity.
As far as pressure, the. But all of that increased case capacity and powder charge come at a price, recoil, and barrel life. Recoil also plays a part in follow-up shots, as you can get your sights back on target faster with a lower recoiling rifle. Assuming a 7 lb rifle for both calibers, the. Often a. Although this might be uncomfortable to backpack through the woods all day, a heavier rifle will reduce the felt recoil a shooter has to endure as the rifle soaks up some of the recoil itself.
With a rifle weighing 9 lbs, the felt recoil for. Although this is a lot more manageable, you still must carry a 9-pound rifle through the woods all day, and that can wear on your endurance as well. But is it? When shooting at longer ranges, consistency is key. Although the flat shooting trajectory of the Win Mag is more favorable for long-range shots, the added recoil can add a level of difficulty focusing on the fundamentals of shooting, particularly a clean trigger squeeze.
For younger shooters, there is no question, the with less recoil is the obvious choice. For more seasoned hunters and shooters, you need to be honest with yourself about your marksmanship skills and ability to handle the recoil.
Because a little trigger jerk at yards will send that gr Hornady ELD-X under the belly of that trophy mule deer. Or worse, you wound the poor animal with a shot that misses all the vitals entirely. The simple truth is that it is easier to be more accurate with a as it has less recoil, and you can practice with it more. This is another category that favors the Springfield as the. This is due to the larger powder charge that the cavernous case capacity of the Win Mag allows.
Sure, you can send those 30 caliber bullets screaming out of the barrel at ridiculously high velocity, decidedly higher velocity than the But those magnum powder charges are going to accelerate your barrel wear, especially in the throat where the rifling begins.
Traditional wisdom states that a barrel is good for 3, to 4, rounds while the. However, for long-range shooting competitors, it is not uncommon to go through a lot of rounds in a practice session. These shooters demand the pinnacle of accuracy from their handloads and barrels, therefore barrel life is much more important for competitive shooters as opposed to hunters.
Accuracy is a tricky category to empirically analyze as there are factors that cannot be calculated. The rifle system being used, barrel life, consistency of ammo, the skill of the shooter, and environmental conditions all play a part in accuracy.
All things being equal, both the. As the. Effective range also plays a part in accuracy, as once a bullet goes subsonic, accuracy goes out the window. Under yards, with all things being equal, I doubt many shooters could detect any differences in accuracy. Over yards it will become more apparent as the starts to hemorrhage fps quickly and the Win Mag is still trucking along. For shots over yards, the Win Mag will be the better option.
However, for shots within ethical hunting ranges and below yards, accuracy should be equal for these two hunting cartridges. Nine inches is not insignificant, but the difference between these two cartridges really shows when you hit the yard line. This is one of the main reasons that the is not used in long-range target shooting competitions and the Win Mag is often seen on the 1,yard firing line.
As mentioned earlier, the Winchester Magnum can maintain supersonic bullet speeds out to 1, yards, with some match grade loads reaching out to 1, and even 1, yards. The Springfield will start to go subsonic right around the 1,yard line and accuracy will drop off significantly. In short, the ballistic coefficient for a given bullet is a measure of how well it resists wind and air resistance. As the Win Mag and the Springfield fire the same bullet diameter, there is not a lot of difference in ballistic coefficients between the two cartridges.
If we look at this in a hunting context, I doubt that any hunters will be able to detect a difference in wind drift under yards, which is where the majority of shots will occur. Therefore, there is not a major difference between these two rounds in terms of ballistic coefficient as most offerings stick between the 0.
There are a few 30 caliber bullets that break the 0. Sectional Density SD is the measure of how well a bullet penetrates a target. This is extremely important when hunting big game, as you need a bullet that can punch through thick hide, bone, and sinew. Sectional density is calculated by comparing the bullet weight and the bullet diameter, the higher the number the more effective it will be at penetrating a target.
The higher the SD the deeper the bullet will penetrate the target. Just like for ballistic coefficient, there is not much difference between the and the. Another small advantage is the higher velocity that the Win Mag can achieve with its higher case capacity. This added velocity over the Springfield will allow the.
However, both the Springfield and the Winchester Magnum will give you devastating penetration that will punch through the toughest bone and sinew on any large game that dares to end up in front of your crosshairs. The fast speed, however, means that you will also experience a backward force of the gun known as the recoil. Ballistic experts compare recoil of different cartridges. It was found that when comparing a.
When comparing a standard. Velocity also has a role to play. This means that you will have better accuracy on long-distance shots. Pair the. The trajectory can affect the path of the bullets, and if you know the trajectory, you can adjust your shot accordingly. The velocity also correlates to the penetration power of the bullets. The more the velocity, the higher penetration it can achieve.
The sole purpose of purchasing a high-quality gun cartridge is its accuracy. Some might disagree, but it is true in most of the cases. When comparing the two cartridges, both are found to have high accuracy.
For long-range shots, however, the. Due to the high muzzle velocity and penetration, it has fewer distortions and a flat almost trajectory.
For medium-range shooting, you should try the. They have low recoil and higher accuracy that enable you to shoot down wild animals with ease for a humane kill.
