For any fellow semi OCP types...Northtogladwin
If you can post here... you can probably surf youtube for your answer. Honestly, I think you know the answer, but you're looking for bait while you troll.
I stand with my original smart azz comment.. OP needs purchase a Mk6 (16") for his home defense needs.

The Mk7 50 cal 16 rifles used on the Iowa Class were a better, longer range later model. You know for when you need to self defense shoot across the yard instead of just in the house.
However ...
The Mk7 50 cal 16 model never went up against another BB whereas the Mk6 45 cal 16" did just that in the USS Washington vs IJN Kiroshima engagement off Salvo Island during the fight for Guadalcanal. The current address for the IJN Kiroshima is Iron Bottom Sound.
I wonder if my grandfather had a ringside seat for that battle. Unfortunately I never asked him.
and to think I almost didn’t buy sketchy OCONUS wifi. Thanks @Northtogladwin for making it worth it.
And it’s purely anecdotal, but based on my casual observations, a 240 will disable most vehicles most of the time. It’s all about shot placement!!!
Is it going to soccer practice or coming back from Starbucks?
In Beverly Hills right? I recall that particular scene. Took out a team of police with that banana. Lol
I’d suggest if you want to see just how much power a 300 has just buy one and go to a range and shoot steel gongs. I shoot gongs and paper targets. I have 2 .300 win’s now. One is a Savage Axis and set me back $319.99 + taxes (up here in Canukistan). But that was probably 5+ yrs ago. Recently I picked up my custom 300. One thing to consider is how much recoil can you handle before you develop a flinch. My savage is probably 5 pounds soaking wet and after you squeeze the trigger you can feel the butt hit you. That rubber doesn’t tame it much (I shoot wearing a t-shirt in the summer). My new rifle weighs in at 16.4 pounds without a bipod (that is still on order). The new rifle has all the toys including a really sweet muzzle break and really nice butt pad.
Those two rifles are extremely different but same power. One I can fire a few shots in a day and I’m done, the other I can shoot all day and I’m good to go again the next day.
If you want to look at a 300 it’s a good jump up from a 6.5 I’ve shot both calibers and owned both. As for stopping power when we shoot a gong at 300 yards the 6.5 makes it bounce… my 300 blew the chains apart at that range and knocked the gong off the stand.
Big thing to me is the sound. My new 300 is tame to shoot but everyone for 5 miles knows you are shooting when you fire it.
me personally I’ve never had a firearm for self defense…. Illegal to carry where I live. Only time my place was burglarized I was home and young… didn’t own a gun so I grabbed a kitchen knife. The guys saw I was home at the last second and ran so God was watching over me that day I didn’t have to fight. As for a gun for self defense I’d prefer to not put myself into a position I need to defend myself. Out in the country at my farm the only thing I’d need a rifle for in self defense terms is bears. And a 300 will take care of them so that’s all I need to know.

I'd just like to know why he's running up a 10 story building and what he's planning to do when (if?) he gets up there.
I’m guessing dude couldnt run up a 10 flights of stairs butt naked high on meth with a jet pack strapped to his back, much less carrying his 20+ lbs “anti-armor” WW3 ending 300wm

Maybe if your 300WM is a belt fed minigun. Otherwise it’s ridiculous to think anything short of explosive ordnance would stop a vehicle. Vehicles carry with them momentum and won’t stop just because you made some critical part(s) stop working.
On the other hand if you can get that 300WM loaded with some Hollywood cartridges, a single shot to the fuel tank will promptly flip said vehicle shiny side down with lots of glorious fire and boom-boom.

In the scenario mentioned before with a 45 mph vehicle. You forgot to tell him that if the shot takes place in Texas ,and the temperature is anywhere near 32°F , then the only rifle capable Of making the shot would be the Accuracy international arctic warfare magnum.
All others would freeze solid.
Thanks for this little piece of information. Now I need to rethink my entire winter hunting scenario....
Why would other guns freeze solid? That is not true, im from michogan and haven't had problems with bold guns at at least 25 degrees
