Dellet, construction of said corral to start immediately! No shortage of the Wapiti, nor the orange suited ninjas seeking to fill their freezer. The last Elk for me was a spike, this was all I had a tag for, but my partner bagged a fat cow with his tag. I used to work for a outfitter, worked my arse off and kinda lost my mojo. Bad knees, no kids at home anymore, and the smaller critters like deer are more my size. I did kill a nice Mule Deer buck a few years ago with the same rifle used when, at 12 years old, my grandfather put me on my first deer. I still have that 7mm Mauser today
I do have some connections if you find yourself seriously needing to huff and puff up a mountain in pursiut of wolf bait.

Re: Speer Gold Dot 150 BLK
Now if they’djust offer a good factory load for those of us who don’t roll our own, it’ll be wonderful!
I’m a big fan of the 100 Barnes, but a 150 hunting bullet with comparable ballistics to the cheap-ish 147/150 grain loads would be a great boon to this caliber.
Speer, you paying attention?!

Re: Speer Gold Dot 150 BLK
I used my first few shots to make a hole just the right size to wedge a dime in sideways. But I never could find the pieces after I cut them in half.rebel wrote:No hole in dime - not impressed
Re: Speer Gold Dot 150 BLK
You don't cut it first. You cut it with the bullet Bang. I'll repeat that feat in person if you are ever up in my area. Won't take a minute.bangbangping wrote:I used my first few shots to make a hole just the right size to wedge a dime in sideways.

You can't beat the mountain, pilgrim. Mountains got its own way.

Re: Speer Gold Dot 150 BLK
I have heard back from a few people that have shot this bullet out past 100 yards and recorded drops. The .340-350 G1 BC numbers seem to be holding true depending on velocity. Remember we have about a 400 fps working range between 16 and 8” barrels.
One thing I have tried, and actual VS calculated numbers are holding within .2 MOA using JBM, is selecting the Sierra 150 pro hunter #2130. So if you’re using a plug and play ballistic calculator, it’s about the closest match I’ve found. Verify it for yourself, but it looks like a good starting point.
Seems like we should be seeing a dead animal pic showing up in this thread pretty soon

300 Blackout, not just for sub-sonics.

Re: Speer Gold Dot 150 BLK
I called Speer yesterday and spoke with a tech guy. Told him of our experience and he insisted their data showed .463 and it wasn't a misprint. He was also surprised we would consider shooting a blackout at a deer at 300 yards.dellet wrote:I have heard back from a few people that have shot this bullet out past 100 yards and recorded drops.
