Re: Sig Subsonic on deer??

The feral hogs get to the processors if they're not too large. The big ones tend to be very poor eating. In the 40-80 lb. range, I've found they are generally very good table fare. Have had some with wounds that were infected, so they go by the wayside. Mostly a challenge to shoot well, even at 40 ...

Re: Been a while but I'm back.

There were three versions , a ranch rifle, a hunter and a patrol. The Patrol was synthetic stock and a 16" barrel. The others were 18" and maybe 22". The Patrol is right at 36" long. Yes, 20 ga 870 accessories fit including the adjustable stock, or Lumley Arms makes adapters so ...

Re: Sig Subsonic on deer??

Probably good enough for these conditions. 40 yards, shooting sticks. Probably need to stay subsonic out of courtesy to the neighbors. Probably need to head shoot since overgrown cedar, cactus and mesquite make direct tracking difficult. Have taken 5 hogs from same blind this month, all head shots....

Re: Been a while but I'm back.

Yeah cheers man. I've been lucky to take a few of the pro circuit shooters for a walk. Friends of mine work and live 6 months on 6 months off in the states on Jerry and Kay's range. They are both super nice people and really down to earth, was a bit hard trying to sneak along and not chat about this...

Been a while but I'm back.

Well it's been a while. So I haven't had a 300blk since April last year when our Government decided to steal my Ar15 because of the actions of an Australian terrorist in Christchurch. And I know what your going to say, why give it up, yeah I did the right thing by the laws we had and mine was regist...

Re: Shooting Stats

As requested. I have good data for 24 animals I have defiantly shot with a 300blk. The only hunting round I use is a 110gr V max. The only thing I have changed is the powder and weight to extract more speed and accuracy. I can't tell you how many times I've had a exit wound but i do remember a large...

Re: Shooting Stats

Hey Walker, If you have time, it would be interesting to know, and very helpful for a lot of people, things like average weight of the animal, bullet used and shot placement. There is so much poor information and ideas out there still about the cartridge. People think you should be able to shoot th...

Shooting Stats

So since I do a little bit of hunting and night shooting for Red deer I've starting running a note book with observations. What works, weather, times and kills, seen deer etc. I sat down and did a data crunch tonight and some interesting reading and what I thought were patterns for success might not...

Re: How big is to big???

You here that boys? The down under man with a plan doesn't pull out the 308 until 300. Man has killed more deer than blue tongue is telling you what it will do in capable hands - done. Go NZ! Where is your dime shot Waliker? Or your rubile or monkey nut, whatever coin y'all use that is around a 1/2...
