Remember this was at 22 mph winds with 56 MPH gusts!!!!!!!!!!!!


Looks like Stephan is taking hos 325 WSM to Texas on the 16th Dec for pigs. I still do not know what I am taking.

It all looks good, Fotis. You really have to like the 200 grain PT in that 325 WSM--good velocity and good accuracy. That is not to say that the 25-06 of Kool Blue is not performing more than adequately.

 

[FOTIS]

Thank Doc. I am thinking the 6mm will go to the piggy hunt in 2 weeks. Hope them Sierras hold up well. They say they are tough as nails.

 

[DrMike]

I like Sierra; they have always held up well for me. This takes nothing away from Nosler; it simply states a fact that we have multiple options available that work very well.

Fotis,

Outstanding! Excellent shooting under those conditions!

Thats some pretty dang good shooting, even if there was no wind!

I like the sierras also but I do admit I an a little concerned about their performance on hogs at those speeds, the only speed they shot well at. The Partition groups were bad.

Looks great Pop. That 325 is right on track with 200's! Wow, what a killer of a load.

Your 25-06 and 6mm look great also. I am not sure how the 85gr GK's will be on pigs, but I had 0 issues with them at 3100 out of my boys 243 and Northern NY deer a few years ago. They exited on broadside shots of 40-50 yards. Seems plenty tough to me. Scotty

 

[FOTIS]

We will see Scott. PS thanks for the package!

 

[Powerstroke]

POP -
That's some great shooting - Just another standard day in your neck of the woods.... :grin:

Still eyeing that 6mm - not shabby @ all. Thinking the 90gr AB ??? :?:

 

[FOTIS]

I sure am !!!! Wish I had some but not enough time to get them and work up a load. I leave on the 16th for Texas piggies.

 

[SJB358]

I am looking forward to trying them out of my boys M700. They should be excellent deer bullets for sure. Scotty

 

[Delta Hunter]

Good shooting in tough conditions.

 

[6mm Remington]

Pop I told you that IMR4350 would work with that wonderful 325 WSM! :grin: :mrgreen:

 

[JD338]

Pop,

Are you going to take the 325 WSM to TX?
