Never been a fan of the cartridge my 15 yr old son has one he’s shot 2 deers with it and I used it to kill a 20” 8 pt out of all 3 deers 7 shots were used
Bullet?
Placement?
I have killed probably 20 with a 243 or 6mm. Dad killed 20 or more with my 6mm, 85 grain Sierra Varminter.. My pard has killed over 50 with the 243. We never noticed them lacking provided they were shot where they were supposed to be shot and with a semi soft bullet.
100 grain Gamekings and 85 grain Sierra Varminter SP gave the quickest kills with a 95 grain Partition close behind.
80 grain Sierra Blitz Varminters are rough on em too.
Smaller calibers and railroad spike tough bullets on an animal that weighs 250# at most makes no sense.
95 gr ballistic tips 100 gr fusions 100 gr pro hunter
All shots less than 100 yds not impressed The 20” 8 pt I used it on took a 95 gr ballistic tip thru the boiler and just stood there 25 yds looking 😳one more he tipped over.My boy is dead eye dick and shoots like pops he’s jumping on the 270 band wagon or 308 😉
