We had four days straight of rain that finally ended on Monday morning. We needed it but we got a lot! I went out to my hunt club this morning to check on things as two of my stands are in the swamp. This is a before and after pic of the stand. This is the same stand I shot my buck in that I...

8x50 Lebel or Mannlicher?

The lightest bullet I've done so far has been the 154gr Hornady Interbond in mine. I've only used Staball HD and got decent results but it was a lighter load. I'm going to revisit that bullet with the same powder and maybe H1000 and LRT. I've had great results with LRT with the 168gr ABLR. A...

A guy on a now defunct forum loved these in his 30-30 AI out of a Contender Carbine. I don't think muzzle velocity was more than 2800 fps but they did awesome for him on deer and hogs. By far the softest Barnes copper bullets I've ever seen. I'm sure they'd work fine at even higher velocity but...

The 307's are definitely intriguing along with the 25 Creedmoor. I ended up saving my pennies for a while longer and went with a Mark V.

Yes, what everyone else is saying. It sounds like your ammo is dangerously overpressure. Stop shooting this ammo immediately and give exact details on your load.

Here's a pic of the exit. Partition did some work!

6.5x55 Swede for the win today.

Awesome, congrats to you both.

I broke the ice this SC deer season with my Tikka 6.5x55. I was hunting a ground blind on the edge of a swamp and have a few shooter bucks on camera including this cull. I was getting a few daytime pics as well and was hopeful I'd get a crack at him. He was on camera at 4 AM last night so I knew...

Wow that's pretty neat! Lots of room in there.

Awesome! Any recovered bullet pics?

Seeing as they're Speer, these are essentially tipped Gold Dots.

Nice to see they're shooting well for you. They did great in my 6.5 PRC in my Tikka, quite accurate. Shot a doe with one & she dropped on the spot. Nice exit but not a far shot. Can't remember MV but I think only mid to low 2800's.

Damn, that's impressive.
