Went out for the first time all season by myself this morning. I was covered up in deer all morning. Ended up seeing 9 does and one little buck. Was luck enough to drop 2 does. First doe came over the knob at 7:45 and walked directly to my stand. She stood still at 30 yards with her head up and...
Recovered this bullet from my son's buck. Shot was 90 yards and the bullet hit back. Took out liver and was recovered in front of back ham. Bullet was a 95 gr Winchester Deer Season XP shot out of a Remington Compact 243. Recovered weight was 56.9 gr for 59.8% weight retention. Internal damage...
My son is 7 and he was using his Remington 700 Compact in 243 with a 95gr Winchester Deer Season XP. I like to use hand loads but we have these on hand and they do a great job on deer.
The story... We got to the blind at 3:20 on Friday afternoon. I had my son and my 5 year old daughter with me...
I have tried the 125 ballistic tips and 125 accubonds in a 308 and a 30-06. Groups out of both were outstanding!! I am saving some of the accubonds for when I finally get another 308. I regrettably sold the last one.
Brian I may need some help from someone else on here but I believe it is cup and core. Winchester does not really claim bonded or cup and core. We have used the XP in milk jug contest and have had cup and core separation.
Shot was about 50 yards. Entrance in the heart and recovered in right on the inside of the hide on opposite shoulder. Deer ran approximately 50-60 yards. Recovered bullet weight was 44 gr.
Thanks JD, I have been very proud of my son's shot placement and patience when taking the shot. He waited until the perfect angle / shot presented itself and it paid off.
This is the doe my son shot with his 243 using the deer season xp this past weekend. You can see the entry wound, the bullet was recovered in the offside shoulder. Great blood, deer went about 50 yards. Will be some great eating!
