Lonewolf McQuade Posted November 30, 2018 Report Share Posted November 30, 2018 Shot a decent 8 point this afternoon with my ruger ranch rifle chambered in 7.62x39, using shitty 123gr wolf steel case HP. WORKED well, he only ran about 15 yds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's cool you used a (not necessarily conventional for Whitetail hunting) 7.62x39 rifle with a shorter barrel too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARTrooper Posted December 6, 2018 Report Share Posted December 6, 2018 I used a very similar round this year. 300 BLK with 125 gr Nosler ballistic tips. 100 yard shot and he went 40 yards. nice little 6 pointer that tastes great, I actually thought he was a fork or spike at first.

98Z5V Posted December 11, 2018 Report Share Posted December 11, 2018 (edited) That guy looks like he did a Pete Rose headfirst dive into home, right there, faceplanted in the snow. Great work! Edited December 11, 2018 by 98Z5V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARTrooper Posted December 11, 2018 Report Share Posted December 11, 2018 Yup, I was very happy with the amount of damage it did. It had good weight retention, I wasn't picking lead out of the meat. and it mushroomed pretty good based on the exit wound, about the size of a quarter. I hear another good one is Hornady's full bore 110 gr hunting rounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
