Ok this is a 300 BLK bullet, not a 375 Socom, but its a Maker. Shows some real world results that those relief cuts create. 200 gr subsonic running 970-980fps at the chrono about 8ft from the muzzle. Hit the deer between the brisket and right shoulder. Messed up heart and maybe a lung and lodged in the stomach. Deer went 40 yards and piled up. One thing I have seen with all three deer I've taken with this bullet is no bloodtrail. This shot was head on into the chest and the other two were broadside in and outs. HUGE exit wounds but no blood found anywhere but under the deer once it flopped. Two of them were with full snow cover on the ground. You aren't tracking a deer after a sub hit. Your looking for a dead deer. My shots from now on are going into the neck.

My guess is it went to Elk Grove twice after someone found that someone Fuuked up.

My magic source is only two shooting ranges up here in the woods. The secret ingredient is that the area has been a vacation spot for Illinois folks from the time of Al Capone or even earlier. They have their rifles and pistols down there but do you think they have free to use 100-300 yard ranges to shoot them? Hell no, not in that state! So when they come up here for a week or two they bring everything along and go blasting for a couple days. I pick up the leftovers. Then come fall the locals start thinking about hunting either around here or out west and getting things sighted in.

I pulled this from the 6.5 Grendel forum. The post is by the administrator. "Is your primary use hunting? The 6.5 Grendel is an AR15 hunting cartridge with long-range target capability. Is your primary use target shooting? The 6mmARC is an AR15 long-range target cartridge with hunting capability. For long-range target shooting, 6mm bullets give you better BC for the same-weight 6.5 bullets, or same BC in lighter weight bullets. This means less recoil and more velocity — all wins for target shooting. Same argument PRS shooters will make in favor of the 6mm Creedmoor vs 6.5 Creedmoor. Huge plus, in my mind, for 6.5 Grendel is Wolf steel-case. I got no problem shooting it even in my original cut-rifled Satern barrel cuz of the conclusions of the Lucky Gunner tests (don't go nuts with mag dumping and you'll be fine!). I think I'd boil my argument down to this: 65G has heavier bullet mass for more smack on big game. 6mmARC has better external ballistics with even less recoil than 65G. If you already have one you don't NEED the other. But what do you WANT?" Theres a 13 page thread over there about the 6mmARC

I'll PM you Sunday. Saturday is road trip to Delafield and back.

PM will be outbound to you Sunday afternoon.

Keen insight into the obvious this one has! ^

The dog looks like he is just chillin'. The cop on the other hand looks like, "lets just get this over with".

PM inbound to you.

Ohhh, funny guy!! But I do know where you can quite possibly get some new ones.

Please forgive the silly questions. Weren't bullet buttons Cali's great idea to make it harder for criminals to change their illegally acquired magazines in their illegally acquired AR15s during their illegal activity? You had to push a special mag release with the tip of a bullet or some such pointy object to get the magazine to drop? Then the state improved on that great idea by ruling that magazines could not detach at all? Sorry for the derail right out of the box. WI may have butt chilling winters but at least most of our gun laws make sense right now. (As much as can be expected)

You had a goat too?

Kid's play.....Haaaa, I get it! The little bugger was probably like, "I see the people do this, I wonder what this tastes like?"

It will be a while. Most of the stuff you're looking for comes in more toward fall.

Will do, closer to Saturday.

Consider it saved for you. I just picked up 20-25 the last few days.

Or in my case had the said rifle in my possession before asking about it just to see how long it would take for the "Rule" to be invoked. It wasn't long.

No they don't! Thats the pope in disguise. Thinks back to the old Steve Martin joke. Does the pope shiit in the woods?

@MikedaddyH Check the 10mm. I should hit 1000+ soon.

@Radioactive Thanks. Hunting accuracy is already met. Up here in the northern WI woods we don't have fields to shoot over. The longest shot I can pull off out of one of my stands is about 60 yards. The longest I've ever taken on a deer is maybe 150, but that was mid state over a grown out clearcut. I've used my suppressed Blackout and 200 grain Makers on deer close to town in my bow stands.

It would probably leave a mark. Bare projectile straight out of the box in a slingshot could do some major damage!
