Just wondering. . . .
Where do people get the idea that a 30/30 runs
out of soup at 100 yards and plows down into
the ground ? Or a 35 Remington ?
Anybody volunteer to stand out at 175 and let
somebody throw a few your way ?
LOL, I damn sure wont, my 35 chunks 220gr Speers out at 2175 fps with a stiff charge of Leverevolution powder, +3 at 100 zeros dead on at 175 yards, 2 inches low on 200 yard steel, and it knocks the piss out of that 200 yard steel, 'still' carrying some serious freight, I shot a bedded heavy horned/bodied 8pt buck through the shoulders at 156 yards, the bullet buried itself deep into the white oak he was lying beside waiting for his girlfriend to get back up, he never got his front running gear back under himself, just pushed himself like a football player lineman with back legs for a couple yards and stopped, another 220gr Speer through both hams ended it, barely a handful of wasted fajita meat lost with both hits.
