By the way, which is better? .308 or 7.62x51?

I reckon the soft drink bottle over the muzzle of a 22rimfire turning it into a long range sniper weapon rifle, a steady platform (shootable of a bucking row boat, the gyroscopic stabilising nature of the PET material does it) AND of course removing all sound... I saw a bloke do it once... so I guess it's NOT a myth.

I highly recommend people DO NOT download some of his books as some of the content is not legal in Australia.

A reporter in a leading Sydney newspaper wrote up the new round as "high powered", "devastating wounds due to the high velocity" and could "blow of a mans arm with one shot"...etc.
He claimed that this was possible due to the fact that "the bullet tumbled in flight thus causing etc....
Think about that and what has changed with reporters writing on this subject - SFA
