No fight offered, Griz ol' mate, just a couple of points: even discounting your wanting to have passionate sex with double rifles, you sure got some funny ideas!

If a high-velocity bullet from one of your rifles key-holes within 30 yds of the muzzles, CHUCK THE BLOODY THING AWAY! Its stuffed! Go buy a new one.

...and if you reckon there's a significant difference (in terms of destroyed meat) between a 300gr .375 through the ribs at 2500 fps and a 400gr .416 through the ribs at 2400 fps, then IMHO you have a very vivid imagination!

Regarding the 300yd shot on elk with a .416 "losing a ton of energy by then", you will find that a 400gr.416 PSP at 300yds has about the same striking energy as a 180gr .30-06 bullet at 100yds. That combination has killed millions of elk over the years......

You got this right, though: "what you 'hear': 80% + on the internet is total BS". I was just thinking that as I read your post!

No hard feelings I hope... ?

O & BTW, I'm not buying a used double off you unless you disinfect it first! Eeeeeew!
