How can that be? Everybody knows that real hunters start at 600 and move back from there.....

I've done much the same with a S&w 640 and 38 Spl wadcutters on Northern Pike. I had one a smidge over 38" on a fly rod that was introduced to the experience. A little splash but it made life a little easier getting the bugger in the canoe.


Keep your powder dry and stay frosty my friends.

What kind of peep you running on that? I have a '24 vintage 250-3000 quarter turn take down wearing a Williams peep of the same year. I'm always looking for a reasonable priced 300 for beating the brush. My 250 is in such good condition and being my grandfathers I'm reluctant to take it out and mark it up. I should just use the damn thing but I have enough hunting rifles and I don't really have any need or justification. Not to mention I would feel chitty if I [bleep] it up.

I've seen the plan Jane Round Nose bullets often shoot amazingly well at 100 and they have an excellent track record for that kind of work. Yet the majority don't use them.

Why?


I have found a good stash of 170gr Hornady RN's for the 8mm. Looking at the ranges here I can get here in west washington jungle, I will switch to these for deer. Already have a load using IMR 3031 that chugs along at 2500 fps.
