Best Possible Caliber

[Evan03]

hmmmmmm

i shot one yote with my 270wsm, with home brewd loads pushn a 140gr nolser balistic tip somewhere in the neigbore hood of 3100fps, maybe alittle faster than that. bullet impacted at 300yds but didnt exit. dog dropped like sack of bricks. no kicks or nothing just instantly dead. i was wide eyed to say the least

to start with i couldnt belive i made the shot. he spotted me at about 100yds from me and took of up the snowy mtn. deep snow. this dog was high jumpn and fast. i had the cross hairs on him waitn for my chance, when hed stop and look back or get tired and slow to a walk.
he decided to stop and look back, worst mistake he ever made. he no morre than started to turn his kneck to look at me and i sent the wsm to singing. it was far enough shot that i rebounded and saw the impact through the scope. pretty cool.

i hiked my lazy but all the way up because i just had to see what the bullet did. i knew thered be a football sized exit. i get up there and theres no blood spread all over the snow like the 2506 would have done.

i kick and nudge and prod trying to find and exit and i for the life of me couldnt and could only guess at the intrance because of where i was holding.

thats one of the reasons i stayed withh the load through deer season.

i got the unexspected a semi heavy balistic tipp id of thought would have blew him to peices. instead it seemed to have just scared that yote to death.
