From what I have read here and on other forums Forsyth rifiling seems to be most applicable in hunting very large or dangerous game. The reason being that I keep hearing that accuracy isnt that great until very heavy charges are used. I believe I read that Jason from Rice said he achieved his best accuracy with the prototype at 160 grains FFG in the .62 caliber. Hardly necessary if you are just chasing whitetails. In fact for this continent I think a .62 cal with 120 -130 grains would absolutely be a powerhouse except for maybe grizzlies.
Am I wrong about this type of rifiling not reaching its accuracy potential until very large charges are used? Or have I fallen to the trap of reading too much on the internet?
