My Remington 799 was actually quite accurate (1 MOA) with Wolf 154 gr softpoints. As much as I loved the idea of the gun, I could never really warm up to the rifle itself. The stock was clunky and the action didn't always feed smoothly. Even so, I shot the rifle a lot, just because ammunition was so inexpensive. The complete lack of recoil was nice too.

My deer camp compadres stoke their SKSs with 154gr Wolf and use them with great results on deer drives. Complete penetration is the norm on broadside and slight quartering shots. Again though, ranges are usually less than 70 yards, often MUCH less.



Verily, I have often laughed at the weaklings who thought themselves good because they had no claws.
