Sure is a shooter in my 30-06 and 308. 180’s in my 300 win mag too. Only other one that didn’t expand, it ice picked, was on a antelope at 808 yards. 808 yards! Dog I rescued in January

I shoot Weatherbys and 9,3x62 Mausers If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

None recovered, they all exited. You get out of life what you are willing to accept. If you ain't happy, do something about it!

A pass through on a pronghorn with 130 gr 270 Win Hornady American whitetail. A pass through on a fairly large whitetail with 150 gr 308 Win Federal Blue Box. Conduct is the best proof of character.

Anyone have any recovered bullets from this year's season Left bullet is from Winchester Power Max Bonded 150 grain 30/30 ammo. It was that close from exiting, I picked it out with a flick of my finger nail. Right bullet is from Remington Pointed soft point 100 grain 250 Savage ammo. I found it about a 1/2" deep in a Sweet gum tree that was 2 feet beyond the deer. Didn't catch any. Only fired two, both factory Hornady 105gr BTHPs out of my 6ARC. First broke the onside shoulder, and exited about midway down the ribcage on the offside. The deer then turned broadside, obligingly, and I put a second one through the ribcage, right behind the shoulder. It also exited. Range was about 100yds.....Deer took all of seven steps, and all of that in the process of turning broadside for me. Kaiser Norton The Kaiser- "If it ain't broke, I can fix that!"

Chest shot through the good bits and stopped by the hide on the far side. Mercy ceases to be a virtue when it enables further injustice. -Brent Weeks ~Molɔ̀ːn Labé Skýla~

CrimsonTide Campfire Ranger C Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 21,702 Likes: 3 Kentucky	I caught a 150 grain bullet from a factory Norma 308 Winchester Whitetail load. The rifle was a 16 inch Christensen MPR. Range 175 yards Whitetail buck weighed approximately 170 pounds on the hoof. Shot on the point of the shoulder and recovered under the hide on the off side. Shot was a bang flop. I have no complaints. "The number one problem with America is, a whole lot of people need shot, and nobody is shooting them." -Master Chief Hershel Davis
