Pathfinder2041 Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 Has anyone uused these bullets on thin skinned game? What were the results? I have other bullets to work up, but so far these two projectiles are scary accurate out of my rifle. THanks for the replies in advance.

.308LiteHunter Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 I decided to hunt with the 155's because of how accurate they are for my rifle. To date they have put 6 Antelope in the freezer and I'll be using them again this year. I admit that 3 of those were head shots, but the other 3 were in the lungs/ heart. They didn't make 10 yards. I wouldn't hesitate to use them on deer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malig8r Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 I loves me some speed goat. Great tasting animal. Had some last year and it didn't last very long in my freezer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pathfinder2041 Posted July 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 Thanks for the replies. I have some 155 and 168 grain AMAX loaded from Freedom Munitions that I am grouping and bullets that I will reload with TAC, CFE 223, and Benchmark to determine my rifles favorite.

rdsii64 Posted November 9, 2015 Report Share Posted November 9, 2015 I know this is an old thread, but shot placement is more important than bullet type. So long as your choice of bullet is not prohibited in the are you plan to hunt, use what ever shoots the best in your rifle. Match bullets kill deer, pigs, black bear or what ever just as quickly as hunting bullets.To put this into perspective. The 155 amax can EASILY reach 2800 FPS from a 20 inch semi auto an still maintain the required accuracy to put a well placed round into the vital organs. This will put you at 1600 Foot pounds of energy at 300 yards. There isn't an animal you can legally get a tag for in North America that can survive a 1600 foot pound shock to the vital organs from a well placed round. Some will drop on a dime. Some may require you to track the blood trail. BUT THEY ARE ALL GRAVE YARD DEAD if you hold up your end of the deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magwa Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 shot placement is and always will be the single most determining factor I never shoot any animal in the neck, or head, also no frontal shots I shoot them all right in the boiler room half way down and two inches behind the front shoulder right at the crease...... game over..

ridurall Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 My son took his 8 point with one shot using a 168 grain Hornady AMax and dropped the animal in it's tracks. We couldn't eat the heart because it was blown to pieces at 240 yards. I had my doubts about using the AMax but no more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robocop1051 Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 Hornady 155gr AMAX .308California Black Bear, approx 300#60 yard head shot, left ear to right ear. Damn near decapitated her. The skull blew into fragments, but remained inside... mostly. She was DRT. She never even knew she got hit.

HoytFlinger Posted February 28, 2016 Report Share Posted February 28, 2016 The 155's are wicked deadly on Kentucky deer. Took two in 2014 with 155 Amax and furthest either of them went was 10 yds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
