Greetings,
There is saying that says no one is a prophet on his own land...
I joined a board from Quebec Province. You know, those guys, because not many of them speak English and the guns laws are very restrictive don't have the information we have here.
So, to make a long story short, Here is the post I did (translated):
"The effective range of 308 is 800 meters and 338 Lapua 1500 meters per the US Military.
You want to be able to hunt and shoot bears and Moose. You have to reduce that effective range because a skinny human target in Irak or Afghanistan is different than a thick skinned, big boned and heavy muscular animal. Moreover, you want to do an ethical kill and not have that animal suffer, what the military does not care too much. War is different than hunting. I am not hunter, but in my book, I would remove at least 100-200 meters to that range to shoot that kind of animal with those calibers."
I got banned because in Quebec province, you can't say firearms can kill humans... My mom told be the silhouette targets are banned from all the shooting clubs she goes (And she is an IPSC competitor there).
And the funny thing...Someone after, posted a post saying it is ridiculous to trust the military ballistic data because it is issued from the American-Military complex... :screwy:
I wonder if I would have said overthere what I say here, They would have called probably the Mounties to get me......hehehehe. I know I am saying often stuff that is offensive for some (ok..many) of you. But Oh well, I like to stir the pot, it makes some people think outside the box (me included-Last time it made realize Obama's document about his University records were a)gone or b)never existed).
Thank you
