I can hardly consider any deer to be BIG game. Big game starts at the elk level to me.

Federal lists antelope, mule deer, white-tail, and black bear as Medium Game on the back of it's Federal Premium Ammo.
Big Game is: elk, moose, and brown bears.

OK if you want to anal-ize it, fine, deer and antelope are medium game, whatever. Jusn't change my point.
I was just poking fun anyway and haven't read a factory federal box in years, never realized the almighty word of bullet gods was on them....

I will be running the 155's as well in my custom M70 308 for WY lopes and possibly some Michigan deer if I head up north a bit.
Looking forward to it actually, this thread definitely helped with my decision. Through the years I have used a variety of Innerloks, Partitions, Ballistic Tips and even one Accubond - but I am hoping for big things from the Scenar!

Yeah, I'm also going to use them in my 308 this year.
Looks like they have been well tested.
Be safe..

why would you use a bullet designed to shoot targets to hunt with? Use a Accubond or ballistic tip bullet instead

I've seen bullets "designed to kill animals" do considerably worse than what we are looking at here on this thread.
Not sure where the "gibberish" is either, as all I'm seeing is a good collection of dead critters....

Me, I'll go with the evidence and I have the utmost respect for Pat's expertise and experience. He's a modest man and doesn't toot his own horn. Those who really know him well, tell a much different story. This man's a legend and we're fortunate, or at least were fortunate, for his input here on the Fire... IMHO and unsolicited editorial. DF
