Nice!
They do come apart though. At least the 162/7mm version. Have seen it twice now. Still like them, but use them carefully...

Good job. I still will NOT use target bullets on game.
You did not "seen" anything, you "saw" it.
A "creek" has water in it, a "crick" is what you get in your neck.
Liberals with guns are nothing but hypocrites.

Because the hunt is on the rez a guide is required A dog trainer from Washington has a special agreement to guide on rez here is web site http://tuxedokennels.com/It was a fun hunt and some beautiful country Will I use "target" bullets in all big game applications? NO The amax bullet is like any other tool used in the right settings But having taken over a dozen deer and a few cow elk , 1/2 doz antelope, dozens of coyotes with broad side shots I have had very good success with the amax. Would I use on a bull elk, cariboo or moose hunt? nope The guide remarked how the antelope dropped when I hit it. I just grilled steaks last night and the meat was fantastic. I would say on par with elk I have shot

everyone things a bthp type is going to blow up.
Match bullets generally have thicker jackets and as such I'm more worried generally if they will consistenly open, not if they will blow up... I"ve never had a 75 amax in 223 blow up, I"ve never had one fail to open.
I"m convinced they are just fine. As are SMKs.
We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....

ribka- Does the hunt portion include dog training? Their website mentions dog training facilities in both OR and MT. If so, I'm thinking I may be interested for next year if I can swing the price. I could use all the dog training help I can get and doing it over/with wild birds would be great.
