Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Any "Stunt Shooting" Planned for Upcoming Deer Season?

The 95 BT is a sure fire killer. Depending on you brass, somewhere between 40 to 42 grains of one of the 4350 powders will have it purring.

25-20 sounds fun....I plan on killing a deer with my 92 someday....got some 85 gr cast bullets loaded....

I have a bunch of projects (stunts) that I've got saved up. Some have been waiting for several years to pull off.

1) 223 REM -- Discussed in another recent thread.
2) 35 Whelen-- I'm reworking my Remington 7600 into a cast lead rifle. The load is a 200 grain RCBS mold over H4895. The velocity is more like a hot Rem 35.
3) 357 Mag -- I have a Marlin 1894 in 357 Mag. It shoots wonderfully with cast lead 158 grain powdercoats. I just have not had a chance to plug a deer with it.
4) 8mm Mauser -- It isn't really a stunt, but it's a project I've been working on for some time. If it shoots minute of deer this year, I'm going to buy the mold and start casting powdercoated lead in it.
5) 30-30 -- again, this is another lead-related stunt. I just haven't found the time or the tags to pull it off.

Any suggestions for faster burning powders to help keep charge weights and thus recoil minimized? I use R15 in my 338 Win Mag per suggestion from Mule Deer and can like the rationale. I may be too worried about the recoil. He handles a 30-30 fine and I can't imagine a 243 recoils any harder. Thanks in advance.

Also have a .222 Magnum and .351 WSL that I need to bloody...

This fall may be the 380acp.

Last fall it was 10mm.

32-20.. done that a few times to know it works on deer/pigs/javelina.

Civil war musket that was bored to smoothbore... done that, at 19 ga I believe, IF it goes off, which is doesn't always, I've done ducks, rabbits, squirrels, deer, pigs and javelina with it over some number of years...

I like playing with "different" guns and rounds at times.

The current go to guns if in a hurry, are 308 MTU contour that Mickey did. 300/221 suppressed more than often. 257 wtby if I want something flat. And 338-06 for Alaska fall hunts every fall.

I've killed numerous deer with .22 LR, .22 Mag. and 5mm Remington magnum rimfire. Killing them with a .223 is no "stunt" at all. Some of the youngsters/poachers hereabouts have been killing the hell out of them with .17 HMR's.

30-30, as in a 170 at 2200 fps? Here's a quick momentum balance check: (170x2200)/95 = 3936 +/-, and I don't think you'll have that 95 grain BT going 3900 fps.

Correct, Ringman is not working up the loads for this rifle!

Taking a Garand to the stand with me.

Considering my 71/84 Mauser "Police Carbine" in 43 Mauser with 370 gr cast for whitetail.

Plan on useing a 250-3000 99 Barrel Band Carbine! then hope to use a 1907 win. in 351 cal. and my savage 22HP

Sure as hell won't see many of those in deer camp! I like it...

Would like to get close enough to singe the hide on one with powder burns this year...should be quite a stunt.

1912 Savage 1899 in 22 HP with 3X Malcolm scope

1919 Savage 250-3000 Rifle in 250-3000 with open sights

1926 Savage Model 99 F T/D in 303 Savage with open sights

1952 Savage Model 99 R in 300 Savage with Leupold 3.5X10X50, So I can see em in the mornin, See em in the evenin, See em at shootin time, Joe.

I have a couple of custom Arisaka Type 38 carbines in 6.5X50MM that I bought a few years back and havnet even sighted them in yet.

I have a Winchester 1910 that I hope to take a deer with. It is my second choice behind a Savage 1899 in 38/55 for which I just found a decently accurate load. I would like to take another deer with my Winchester 1876 but I will need to load some more black powder loads first.

I have a number of other firearms I would like to use but those are the ones I have in mind for this year. It is 5 months til deer season so those options could and probably will change.

Have a Contender pistol (12") in .38/40 Win that needs to have its cherry popped too. A 200gr XTP in front of a healthy charge of 4227 ought to work.

Going be spending the next month finding a load for my new 223. Its a 1-8 Tikka superlite should be great in our little Bambi's.

I have 'Ol Betty Lou, she is da one. An Ak-57, uzi, radar, triple barreled, double scoped, heeeeeeat seeking shotgun. My fingers were so frozen I couldn't pull da trigger, so I fired it wit my big toe.

I'm like Dirty Harry, John Wayne, and G.I. Joe
