I need to gather up a doe or two for the freezer this weekend. Trying to decide if I should go in style with my M30 or my 99 or just hit the easy button and run a TMK out of the AR through one. I might even pull off a double with the suppressor on the AR.

Sorry, no pics of this weeks doe, 22-250 shooting Federal Mk318 Mod 0 barrier blind bullet. The rear 2/3 is solid copper. I was hoping for a nice clean chest shot to compare the performance to the 64gr Nosler bonded or 60gr Partition, nope. I had to shoot wrong handed out the back of the tree stand and I spined her, I worked.
64 bonded work, 60 partition work, 62 TTSX have all worked too.

New Zealanders consider Wallabies as vermin. Here's the results of one night when I helped a NZ sheep farmer rid his farm of a few Wallabies. I used a bolt action .223 Rem. A well known Montana hunter and former poster on this Forum used his .220 Swift on many big game animals. Here's one of our friends with a fine bull elk that he shot a few years ago with his .22-250, which was his favorite big game rifle for more than the 40 years that I knew him. We lost him last week, and this was one of the pictures his wife put in the announcement of his service.

More 223 pigs bit the dust on Christmas Eve. Sister and her gang came for a visit and my BIL has been wanting to kill a pig for forever. Dad and I took him out where I’d seen a bunch a couple days prior and we’re able to locate them.

Impressed and motivated reading these posts and looking at the pictures. Hoping to post some of my own 22 caliber pics soon. Picked up a Ruger M77 MK II 223 Rem with the Zytel stock and headed up to my property tomorrow morning in NE Wisconsin for the holiday antlerless hunt...
And always see Bobcat tracks in the snow, but have yet to see one, going to work on changing that...

Sorry for the loss of your friend - but this is proof that it's always been about the rifleman, not the rifle. I recently learned of the passing of someone I had not seen in a while and between his 22 Mag, 45 ACP (military issue) and 7mm Mag., he truly believed there was nothing he could not hit and no critter he could not dispatch. And the kicker, it didn't matter which critter or which gun - a gopher with the 7 Mag, a buffalo with the 22 Mag or a quail with the 45 - he was that confident with either piece.
