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.
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...
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.
I've used it in 7 Rem Mag, 7mm PRC and 6.5 PRC. So far it has been accurate in the PRC's but velocity has been off from published loads by 100+ fps. I still want to try it further with higher charge weights but overall it hasn't been bad at all. The 7 RM loads have given good velocity in one...
That P320 is definitely shooting well! I've had good luck shooting the HAP bullets in other calibers, always seem accurate but they're target bullets and not meant to expand. They almost look like an XTP without the skives etc.
@TexasLife man you got some red dots! I only have experience with...
I'm sure some lighter weights would be wicked fast and a lot of fun on smaller game. Not sure how I feel about using them on deer unless it was a stout bullet.
@Slimfinn those are some hot factory loads. Which brand?
@TexasLife I was on the lookout for AA#9 but never ran across any.
Anyone...
The higher load I had did 1299 fps average with the 180gr from the 5" barrel but was not a published load. What powder were you using?
The load I showed the chronograph picture of is 9.0 grains of Longshot at 1268 fps average. That's just below Nosler book max but almost a grain higher than...
@salmonchaser I love Sigs and own several of the classic series in 9mm, 40, 10mm, 357 Sig & 45. One of my off duty carry guns is a P365 XL which has been fantastic. Too bad I can't carry one of them on duty.
@TexasLife I think you'll love them! I have a P220 DA/SA Legion in 45 and it's a very...
I bought a Sig P220 10mm Hunter a couple years ago with the intention of shooting a deer with it. I've been handgun hunting for a while now but I've never used a semiauto. While it has excellent iron sights, I really wanted to put a red dot on it & EGW makes a nice adapter that takes the place...
