358Win and the 225gr Accubond

[bullet]

Jerry (GB300wm) and I have a ball this week hunting. Jerry killed a big 175 pound 7 point buck and I killed a small doe and a 145pound 8 point buck. I killed the doe with my 338Win mag and needless to say the 210gr Partition did to the doe what it did to a 5 point buck I killed two weeks ago, instant death.

The 225gr AccuBond in my 358Win Ruger M77 Hawkeye is moving 2556fps and let me tell you that the 8 point that was hit with with the 225gr AccuBond went down just like a sack of potatoes at 100yds, very impressive indeed.

Mike,

It looks like that 358 put the hurt on that deer right smart. Thanks for the report and the pictures. Your photography is excellent, as per usual.

Very nice! I miss big game season already! Gonna have to get after some coyotes this weekend to help break the cabin fever.

Here are a few more pictures. We had two deer, two men on the four wheeler and that was just at 700 pounds and going through those swamps was something else.

Well, that is three deer that have fallen for me this year with one buck and one doe to the 210gr Partition out of my 338Win Mag and they dropped right where I shot them and one buck with the 225gr AccuBond out of my 358Win and it dropped right where I shot it. NOT BAD NOSLER!!!

Great shooting Mike. Excellent deer. Glad you were able to take some deer with your 358! Looks like it really performs as it should. Scotty

Very nice. Where did you hit them at?

Corey

Where I always aim just behind the shoulder right above the heart high in the lung area.

 

[SJB358]

Nice, probably never recover a 338 or 358 caliber bullet with that kind of placement. Unless you stick one in an elk or moose! HA. Scotty
