Actually, it's what happens when you fire a 300 Win Mag in a Weatherby.
to the OP- please go do some reading about calibers and ballistics. Google is your friend.
After reading your other posts, you're better off not even going hunting and shooting a weapon. Please, go read more on the internet about hunting ethics and firearms and ballistics before going hunting again.

Wow....just wow.
BSA = junk
No rifle can "increase power" of a cartridge. Yes barrel length may allow for more velocity...but thats minor.
I would say you need to start at the bottom and work your way up. Maybe go squirrel/rabbit hunting with a .22lr, once you perfect that (and learn a LOT more about firearms) THEN you are ready for deer hunting.
I'm not trying to degrade you, but you have to start somewhere. Heck i didnt shoot my first deer untill i was 22 or 23. But before that, i hunted plenty of small game and shot a ton.

How old are you? Sounds like a pre teen trying to act like he is informed. Your knowledge base is zero. Find somebody that has a little firearm knowledge and listen to what they say. Why not buy a single shot .22 and learn the basics before bamming away at live animals with an inaccurate weapon not really designed for hunting? Hunting is not just about shooting things. You need to rethink your values.
I know this thread was about rifles, but I read your other one on shooting a deer in the face, and just can't take much more.

For my money I am looking at a savage axis and a Remington 770. Obviously both are American built quality guns I...oh forget it...

If you paint racing stripes on the bullets it'll make it even more powerful.

Guys, I think he's justa young kid who wants to get into hunting. We all have to learn somewhere and it's ovious granddad isn't helpin him out. But then again, some of the old timers shoot deer (all deer) in the head. I've been on a ranch down in the hill country and brought a really nice 8 back to camp and the ranch owner let me have it for doing a high shoulder shot and not putting the bullet behind the buck's ear (no joke). Anyways, I think we should teach and not scold. Nothin better than a kiddo interested in hunting. Unless these threads are jokes, then... Flame on I say

The remington is 300 hp and the savage is about 325 hp. Flywheel or wheels?

HP would be at the trigger, torque would be at muzzle.

HP is derived from torque and rpm, so the rate of twist of the barell has an effect on HP too

OK, here's my suggestion.
Buy the Remington 770. It's the most powerful .270 on the planet. And can blow the head off any deer.
No need to spend a bunch of money on a high end scope like BSA. There's plenty of Chinese copies of Leupolds out there for cheap. They're just as good Leupold but them Chinese reverse engineered them. They're exact copies of Leupold without the huge price tag. I seen some for sale down at the flea market the other day for $25.

I think you guys scared him off. If he was a young person trying to get involved, shame on you.
If not and he was jacking with people, shame on me.
I go for the first one though.....

I go for the first one though..... I actually read all his posts on other subjects. He recognizes hogs are unusual in in Langtry as it is desert country, calls a bald eagle "regal", I dunno. But I do know that if you use liquid propellant in your cartridges you will get the most horsepower, regardless of the gun you use.

Never expected to get so much junk by just asking which gun is better. I thought that's what this place is for? As far as BSA or Remington or savage being junk, maybe we can't all afford high dollar guns and gun stuff! Surely they can't be in business if No one buys their stuff. So thanks but no thanks for the advise! And what's with all the lame pictures being posted that have nothing to do with guns or hunting?

personaly i think you should start small and learn some basics, start with a powerfull air soft gun and learn gun safety. Then move to a pellet rifle and go after some small game. after about 10 years of that I might consider a .22 LR for yourself.
