I've not seen any of the postings on farcebook nor will I as I do not subscribe but reading this thread what I have not seen mentioned is the construction of the bullets of the day. JC had at his disposable the best bullets offered likely all cup and core but nothing like today's bullets. I see you tout TSX, TTSX, accubonds to great success. Lighten up gentlemen, you have what he only dreamed about.
My comments were concerning Jack's choice to use Winchester factory ammo or handloads using 130gr. Winch. Silver Tips.
He could have used 150gr. bullets, or when in Canada wounding moose with the 130's, he could have used the 160gr. Imperial or Dominion ammo loaded with 160gr. KKSP's.
All cup and core.
As well, he could have used Nosler Paritions, although the very early ones were not consistent.
He didn't, he used the 130gr. Silver Tips loaded from 3,000fps or 3,100fps with 60gr. of H4831.
