Bullets can do some unexpectedly strange things and animals can too.
1. I shot a whitetail at 225yds with a popular mono-metal bullet that sheds its petals. The broadside standing deer took the hit centering on its heart. The deer ran into the wood line and zigged and zagged for over 100 yds...
I loaded a few 142 ABLRs up for my buddy's new rifle in 6.5 Creed. He shot a large buck in the neck and a doe in the chest. They both had very large exit wounds but the deer both dropped to the shot. Both shots were taken at around 100yds.
I had two different commercially made barrel coolers. They ate batteries and moved very little air compared to the mattress inflater. The mattress inflater cost about $35 on Amazon and you can really feel the air it pushes out the muzzle. The only downside to the rechargeable mattress inflater...
Using a battery powered air mattress inflator and a flexible hose, I'll shoot ambient temperature air through the bore for about 1 minute between each shot. However, after 3 shots, I'll let the barrel cool for 5-10 minutes.
I always thought that the 338RUM was perfect moose medicine, especially when you see moose across vast stretches of bog. My longest shot was actually 315yds and the 250 Accubond wizzed right through the bull broadside.
However, I really enjoy my Marlin 1895SBL (45-70) and always wanted to take...
The first bull moose that I took was spotted on the opposite mountain top at just over 1,000yds. My guide said "sit tight, we're going to call him in." I thought that was a joke but as soon as he started calling, I could see the bull staring in our direction. The moose started to descend from...
They claim that the estimated live weight was 900lbs. That has to be the heaviest black bear that I've ever heard of. PA records a 600-700lb bear every now and then but 900lbs is unheard of. I believe that the bear was living behind the Crispy Cream plant. LOL
I'll have to agree with Jim when he said, "there is no such thing as overkill". I shot most of my bulls with a 338RUM. It seemed to be a perfect fit to me, but it is a big step up in HP from the 300PRC.
My buddy is a diehard user of One Shot spray lube. Every now and then he gets one of the big Weatherby cases stuck in the sizing die. He usually sends the die back to the manufacturer for removal. The last time he sent a die back they told him to STOP using the spray lube on large cases. They...
I've taken quite a few whitetails with 7mm 160 AB (7WSM), .308 165 AB (.308 Win) and .264 140 AB (6.5 PRC). I have never experienced any Accubond bullets that failed to expand or deer that ran off for any distance. I've shot several bull moose with the .338 250 Accubond and can only say good...
