Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Dogzapper---.25-06?

I've taken several nice bucks past 100 yards with a 25-45 Sharps loaded with the Hornady 117 gr RN. My largest buck was a 200 lb. 11 pointer (eastern count) at a tad over 100 yards. Drilled the shoulders and DRT.

What is this BC you fellows are discussing?

BC stands for ballistic co-efficient. It really means how efficient a bullet's shape is when it travels through air to reach its target. A higher bc bullet experiences less air resistance and drifts less in the wind , retains more of its velocity (which is another word for speed) and shoots flatter. And one more thing I should add for those .257 owners who don't think bc is important, if you shoot a deer with a high bc bullet past 200 yards, the deer doesn't fall off the edge of the earth.

Hit the Whitetail with the 110 grain Hornady Precision Hunter behind the shoulder at a bit of an angle. Did not exit. Appeared to blow up without penetrating all that deeply.

Don’t waste your time.

Good point!

Was the deer headed toward you (the bullet path through the deer would have been toward the tail end) or away from you (bullet path through would have been toward opposite shoulder or sternum)?

I'm wondering if the bullet hit a rib (or perhaps a couple ribs) at a shallow angle.

And perhaps you don't waste people's time by deliberately, in two different .257 threads, make provocative posts about how bc is irrelevant, in full knowledge that someone who disagrees will respond. As a side issue, your pathetic attempt to suckarss on the previous page is duly noted.

South Texas, I doubt if your time is very valuable. With your IQ, do you even earn a reasonable wage?

Headed toward me. Probably did hit a few ribs. Did the job but ran a long way for such a solid hit.

Well, it was a good thread while it lasted.....

The 110 grain Accubond would hold together better and the 110 Sierra Tipped GameKing is designed to be a tougher bullet.

I don't "earn a wage", thank you

100 grain TTSX, 100 grain BT or various partitions.

I bought a few weights of partitions from SPS. So far had poor luck in getting them to shoot as accurately as I like??? I think I have 100, 115, (117?) and 120's. I usually have good luck with accuracy and partitions. I don't know what is going on. I just bought a few hundred TTSX's and I'm planning on wringing them out at the range when weather gets appropriate.

I guess I didn't know about the 100 yard limit with the 25-06. When I was a bit younger and even more foolish, I shot a pronghorn at what I thought was 450 yards. I broke both front legs a few inches below the rib cage. That was long before I had a range finder. I suspect the range was maybe 550 yards.

The use of the word "even" in the question "Do you even earn a reasonable wage?" indicates the possibility of other forms of income besides a wage.

Or perhaps it could indicate that I earn and Unreasonable wage. Or perhaps I could get a wage but don't earn it.

Now, for OBG and others, perhaps we can drop the personal insults and return to a worthwhile thread

GreggH..Just keep trying to suckarss.

Man, for inside 500 there are some great ones out there. I am on a Scirocco and 100 BT kick for right now. Not sure what I'd go to next.

Beretzs for under 3k try the 90 gr Sierra HPBT. Have been using it in a 25 wildcat last couple of years. Very impressive record.
