Damn plant, that sucks! But at least it waited until you had killed some deer! I’ll send up some prayers for a continued recovery. Like TBM said, some get it and are hit hard, some sail through easily. Mrs BS and I got it late October. For me it was like a fairly bad allergy day. She felt like she h...

Man gds, you’re taking care of business!

And what are you doing dragging it? You’ve got kids for that!

Congrats gds!

I do wish Hornady had made an all copper slug for their subsonic rounds, though, to avoid pieces of lead and jacket in the meat.

Congrats on the venison heading to the freezer. There’s not a lot of velocity or energy to give shock with subs, think of them as pistol rounds. You really need rifle velocity, 2000 fps or so, for any kind of ‘shock’ to kick in. Check out gds’s thread on subsonic hunting, he and others share a wealt...

Impact was about 8 or so inches behind her shoulder and took out about three inches of her spine. Exited just to t...

A second vote for CMMG. I have two and they seem to work well.

And she’ll be nice and tender!

Sounds like Shorty was a priceless friend and wonderful character-of-the-world. May he rest in peace, and cook some heavenly ‘shine for the angels.

supersport, I also am interested in it. And no worries about posting non-300blk stuff here. We tend to be open to new cartridges here, and not openly critical of anything else like some other cartridge specific forums! I actually have a 6ARC barrel on back order from Odin. No idea when I might see i...
