2506
 

my last two mulies have been taken with my 2506

my frist buck with the 25 was with a 100gr nosler bt useing imr 4831
this was a one shot kill at about 150. bullet did not exit but was found just inside the hide on the far side in perfect mushroom

this years buck was at 220 is maybe 250. useing the same rifle but difrent load. i used h4350 to push nosler new 110 accubond. this bullet punched threw the vitals and killed it instantly dead. it exited blowing blood and meat all over the place.

both bullets are very good on deer but i thgink the accubond is what im going to stick with.

Ruger MK II Blued/Black Synthitic stock, Nikon 3-9 Buckmaster scope. .270 WIN 150gr Winchester Power Point Plus ammo @ 100yd less than 1 MOA. I floated the the barrel and had a muzzle break installed. (I shoot it a lot) The trigger is tuned to 3lbs. I've been hunting with the same rifle now 5 years, I kill deer size game with one shot out to two hundred yards every year. Most all game dies with in feet of impact. I've got less than $800.00 in the whole rifle, just proves Bill knew what he was doing........

WILL BE USING MY SAVAGE 116 270 WSM WITH A BOYDS THUMBHOLE AND A 3X9X42 REDFIELD ILLUMINATOR (GREAT BUY ON CDNN SPORTS FOR 179 BUCKS) STOCKIS GREY LAMINATE WITH STAINLESS BARRELL, AWESOME RIFLE

I use a .270 WHBY Vangraud shooting hangloads with Barnes TSX 150gr quater size groups @ 100yrds off the bipod. 3x9x40mm Kingoptics scope.

Will be using a 6.5x55 AI for deer and antelope hunting in 2007. Just started buying the parts to do it. I already have the receiver and the barrel and stock ar not too far behind. Should be nice when it's all done.

Marlin 30-30.

Have to admit, I bounce around as I am interested in terminal ballistics. Have shot them with .223s through 45/70s in rifles, but nearly half were shot with handguns. All my wild boar have been with handguns.

I could be perfectly happy with most centerfire rifles for deer in any caliber from .260 Rem (Never owned a .257 Roberts but that would probably do also) to .376 Steyr (happen to have one and it works great - though it was a friend who shot the deer with it).

In some locales I would be perfectly happy with an ordinary 30-30 (killed my first deer with one and have never dropped one quicker with anything).

Riposte.

12ga, 30-06, .308, 30-30, 7mm mauser, 44mag

Here's some results from my past weekend hunt near D hanis, TX. Shot a doe with my 308 and a 165 grain Berger VLD bullet--hit a bit back and at a slight angle. Fortunately I saw where the doe ran and walked straight to the deer. There was no blood trail--the bullet seemed to have exploded internally left a pencil size entry hole and jellied insides--paunch included--not a pretty sight but cleaned up OK.

We had a large sow in a trap which I dispatched with a 50 caliber muzzleloader pistol, 50 grains of 777 and a 360 grain conical. I'm a fair shot at 3 feet and the shot was terminal--full, head to leg penetration and it ended up somewhere in the dirt--looked but couldn't find it.

Late evening a big black boar walked into a sendero and paused a bit too long. 308 again this time with a 165 grain Sierra HPBT (GameKing)--probably a neglected bullet--we tend to think of all hollow points as target bullets. Shot hit just behind the ear in the neck/spine and the hog went down with a half dollar size exit hole. If you're wanting a bullet that expands rapidly for deer sized game, check this one out--it's available in most calibers.

moose for god i've noticed you can buy a conversion kit to

Good hunting.

303 British 30-30 223 sks 30-06 50 cal. Black Powder next year it will be a 243. I have shot 50+ deer in my life time I have wounded 2 that I never found, both were shot with a 30-06 my fault. ( Young and foolish) Now I pick my shots better, I don't shoot at running deer and don't take brushy shots. I only want to make clean kills, if I can't, I leave the deer to be hunted another day.

Have a great day!
