I think nearly any bullet can have a bad day, but the premium bullets like Partitions, Accubonds etc just do it a lot less often. That being said, that was a pretty tough test for a bullet. A big hog shoulder and its shield, which was over an inch thick, is tough stuff! I've heard so many people...

Yeah I like that!

This is a recovered 165gr Core-lokt from a factory load shot from a 15" barreled Encore pistol in 30-06. This was one of the few animals I've shot in the last couple decades with a factory load. I ended up grabbing a box because the person I bought this barrel from said it was a consistent 3/4"...

Lol, if he couldn't get it done with the first two, I don't think 10 more would've helped 😅

Would love to see one of those put into some jugs.

I got a pair of Lacrosse Alpha Burly boots, solar panel for one of my Tactacams, sling for my x-bolt & some 150gr ABLR's in 6.5.

When I had a 260 in an Encore pistol with 15" barrel, I was very fond of the 125gr Partition and 130gr Accubond, both over H4350. Puts a hurtin' on deer & hogs.

Nice to see on game results! I'm assuming a pretty good blood trail, though the snow definitely helps?

I know what you mean! I pistol hunt a little bit but might as well be using a slingshot compared to Ernie!

Sweet looking setup. Im sure youll give those critters hell! What suppressor are you running?

The 200gr Interlock RN in the .35 Remington is becoming one of my favorite bullets. I have these loaded over IMR3031, Hornady brass, CCI primer & crimped with the Lee FCD. I haven't chronoed this load but I'd guess around 2000 fps. It shoots into 1.5 inches or less in my Marlin 336. I put one...

Do you mean Lyman 429421? I've had good accuracy but wasn't super impressed with their performance on deer. Definitely worked but if I use them again, I'm going to try and put it through both shoulders.

Both those bullets should serve you well Slimfinn. That's a good looking handgun.

We're covered up in turkeys right now as well. Most won't be around when you can actually shoot them, par for the course.

Exactly like NYDAN said, I'd rather lose some meat than a whole deer. Love that bullet and caliber. That's my go to in the 257 Roberts.

Short barrels = muzzle flash. You may be able to reduce it with certain powders but you'd have to experiment a lot. I shoot several Encore pistols in rifle calibers and I just deal with it as a trade off for the short barrel. You could always get a suppressor, that would make a big difference😈

Had the doe's tenderloins a couple weeks ago, amazing eating as always.

So far I've got a doe and this buck in SC. Doe was shot with Browning X Bolt 2 in 7mm PRC with 154gr Interbond. Pass through and went maybe 20-30 yards with good blood trail. Buck was shot with Tikka T3x Super Varmint in 6.5 PRC with 142 ABLR. Went straight down and recovered two bullets which...

Finally got some measurements on them. One on the left is 72 grains (1st shot) & the other one is 70 grains, so approximately 50% weight retention. They expanded to .476" and the other to .492" at its widest. I honestly thought they lost more weight than that. They did pretty damn good!

Awesome report! Those BLR's are pretty sweet. I've used the roundnose version of that bullet loaded in a .35 Rem in a Marlin. I shot a great buck last year at spitting distance and the bullet did an awesome job. Great blood trails and exits every time.
