Paul, Nice Job. I intend to hunt with My K-31 this season. I will be hunting Deer and Hogs in Texas. I reloaded 168 gr ballistic silvertips ahead of 46.8 gr of IMR 4350. I would love to hunt elk with it. Sincerely, Chief
Paul, Nice Job I will be Hunting with my k-31 next weekend. I will be hunting for deer and feral hogs. I reloaded 50 rounds of 168gr ballistic silvertips ahead of 46.8 gr of IMR 4350. I am thinking that it should do the trick. Chief
Chief, Good luck! I am sure your load is just fine. How did your K31 perform with it at the range? Original Swiss loads were 174 gr FMJ loaded to about 2750 fps, and they clocked just as advertised, I checked. Let us know how the hunt goes! -P
Paul, The first shot cut the bullseye at 100 yards. The next 4 stayed in the 9 & 10 ring. The spread was acceptable it was hard shooting through that big smile from the first shot. This rifle is amazingly accurate the spread was certanly my error. I will let you know how my hunt goes. I plan to hunt elk next year or the year after.
