Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles The Elmer Fudd Society arises from the ‘Fire!

Have a shortened Savage 99 .358 Winchester. It shoots 200 gr RN from Remington quite well. Most of my deer kills with that gun used that load. Not sure if a 1968 Savage 99 can make the cut. It is kind of new. Be Well Brothers, RZ.

Dang, so close. The first big game animal I shot, at the tender age of 44, was a mulie doe using a No. 1A in 30-06, but with a 180 Partition. Every animal I've taken in the 18 years since then has been with a single shot rifle, and nearly all with Partitions. I did take a 10-point whitetail with a Hornady RN from a No. 1B in 358 Win in 2022, but the other bullets were all pointy. I remain an aspiring Fudd.

IMO, you’re definitely accumulating Fudd points with the .358 Win.

And of course the old ‘06.

More Fudd with a 257 Roberts…

How bout stubby fudds like 308

Mo better Fudd round.

Nice speed goat.

DF

Nice trophy

SS/synthetic?

That’ll need to go before the board

No Fudd zone, stainless and plastic are reasons for the appreciation of nice wood/blued steel…

Oops🤦‍♂️

The Fudd is strong already here. Me like!

Maybe I’m a Fudd. Prefer lead and Lord Black. And Flints.

Maybe you like Shrap, professing to be “pre-Fudd” with his ancient ordinance.

I wanna play.

If I take a deer with my dad's 'ol 740 30/06 with 180RNs, would that qualify?

He loved that rifle, and he called it "Lightin""....not because it was fast, but because it "never hit in the same place twice".

I loaded up some RN 180gr Hornys, and it grouped pretty dang well. Gotta take it out and give it a chance.

Sorry, my 06 wears plastic. Do have a Husky Crown Grade 308 from the mid 50,s, complete with a 40 year old box of WW 180 PP RN. Could even use it's open sights. Hmm, how about my 300 H&H? Have lots of 180 RN bullets. Hornady, Sierra, Speer, CIL, Hawk, Core Lokt, even some Finnish RN boat tails that a magnet will pick up. Have a dandy reduced power load right at 2700 FPS. Yep, with the Remington Round Nose. Even have a Fudd cap.

At 15, I shot my first firearm buck in MI. 700 BDL 30-06 bought with money from odd summer jobs. Ammo? The deadliest mushroom in the woods, of course! Rem Core-Lokt 180gr round nose. Pretty sure I was wearing Woolrich red & black plaid. Fuddy enough?

180RN Hornady out of my newfangled Savage repeating rifle here. Wool jacket and cap for added Fudd points.



Did kill my biggest whitetail buck with a factory 180 old style Silvertip out of my 1903 Springfield a long time ago but I don’t have a pic handy.

1-8 twist 416 Remington with 1000 gr custom slug.

Elmer Fudd used a double barrel shotgun.

Got Wiley Coyote…
