After seeing the tests from last weekend, my son wanted in on the action :grin: He wanted to test his British .303, so here`s the low down...
The shot was @ 15yds, and the bullet came to rest in the 4th jug. The bullet was traveling @ about 2700fps, and finished @48.5 grs. It lost it`s core...
My youngest son wanted to give this water jug test a try, so we took my 25-06 and his British .303 out for some fun......
My son shot the first bullet and I shot the second bullet. The shot was @about 15yds, and the impact velocity was 3100 fps. Both bullets came to rest in the 4th jugs, so I...
Load`m up @ 58 and start shoot`n! JMHO of course.
That is the same load I was shooting with my 25-06 when I was shooting 100gr bullets.
BTW, nice shoot`n!
Well thanks guys, glad you guys liked the test.
I was really pleased with the results, especially considering the impact velocity.Most of the shots we get are usually pretty short, so I figured it was a good test for the little 95gr. Definitely boosts the confidence in this bullet.
The last couple weeks I`ve been working up loads with this bullet for my son`s R700, .243 as well as for my Savage 110, .243. We have both guns shooting well @ 100yds.so I thought I would test the bullet itself......
The shot was @ 15yds with an impact velocity of a little over 2900 fps. I...
My rifle really digs R22 with 115gr NBT, 117gr btsp Hornady and the 100gr NBT. I`ve been told that Retumbo is another good choice for the 115 gr & up. When I get a chance I`m planning to give the Retumbo a try.
When i was younger, we used to camp when we were hunting. Now most of the timber companies don`t allow it, so i usually drive from home. Sorry no pic`s.
Couldn`t agree more about the youth antlerless tags.
Yes, we will be hunting blacktail. I`d like to make a trip to your side of the mountains for mulies, however, with the time constraints of school i don`t think it`s going to happen.
Good luck to you guys too, I look forward to the stories...
I plan on rifle hunting for deer with my son, we put him in for a youth antlerless tag. He a whopping one point from last year so our hopes are high :grin: I`d like to do some bowhunting for elk, however, I`m having some eye sight issues so my shooting is suffering. I hope the optometrist can...
