Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Long Range Hunting Hornady 147 ELDM 6.5's

Thank you ribka.

FWIW, I've hunted in the west, the Colorado Rockies 5 different years & Montana once. Shot prairie dogs, jacks & coyotes on the Co. Ne. border 5 or 6 seasons. Doesn't make me an expert at all, but I've seen what the weather can do & have managed to to conquer the distances at times.

Sitting in a tree like a buzzard, staring at a couple hundred bucks worth of corn isn't my thing, never hasn't been. But not saying there's anything wrong with it. 37 yards? my 6" 629 Smith with a Keith load. It, a 7.5 Redhawk, a 6.5" 29, & a 5.5" SBH have all been there, done that.

The hog kill with the blown out shoulder is great, DRT. But it would be kinda ugly on a nice meat doe. Two ways of looking at that I guess, a good bit of meat loss, or,,,,,,,,,,,,, the thing is anchored, secured & no chance of it running off. All depends on the objective.
