.33 Nosler
I had never heard of this round, and my Googlefu came up with it having more energy and being flatter shooting than a .338 Lapua.


~$5/shot from the pricing on the Nosler site.
4500 lb/ft of energy at the muzzle, down around 4k at 100yds. So, at 7 yds, I'm guessing it hasn't lost much of that former number.



The Enemy's gate is down.

Held his fear in check? Why? Was the croc bugging’ him or something?
7 yards, damn near point blank, with a Nosler no less. Yeah, hellava guy, not a Rittenhouse, but a hellava guy nonetheless, eh?


You know a croc can outrun a human, right? At 7 yards, anything short of an incapacitating shot and Mr. W is lunch…

7 yards is 21 feet, and we all know about the dangers of the 21 foot rule....
