Hunting & Fishing Berger VLD bullets for hunting
Re: Berger VLD bullets for hunting I don't know what happened in the case of the OP, but I just took my third mule deer with the little 115 VLD from my .25-06 at 3200 fps. All have been bang-flops, with extensive damage to the heart and lungs. I'll rate these right up there as terrific...- M700

Hunting & Fishing Easy Tests for Terminal Ballistics?
Re: Easy Tests for Terminal Ballistics? When it comes to newspaper, phone books etc... I started with soaking wet ones, but found I got great results just using a stack of dry phone books, magazines or newspapers. They're tougher, it takes less of 'em to stop a bullet. They're lighter and...- M700

Hunting & Fishing Easy Tests for Terminal Ballistics?
Re: Easy Tests for Terminal Ballistics? I've used several different things over the years to test bullet penetration/expansion. Last couple of years all I've used are one gallon plastic milk jugs, filled with water. They're free. Easy to work with. Easy to clean up. They'll stress a bullet...- M700

Hunting & Fishing 2009 Deer Rifle Pics
Re: 2009 Deer Rifle Pics El Gordo - Nice Kimber! Looks great and in a very useful cartridge. Nice... Last few mulies I've taken have all been with a plain-Jane .25-06 Rem 700. Used a 4.5-14x for a while, but the past couple of years it's had a simple 6x Leupold in place. Simple, deadly...- M700

Hunting & Fishing newbie question on elk rifle
Re: newbie question on elk rifle A single 7mm/175 grain Nosler Partition through the chest did a fine job on this Wyoming bull: I like the .45/70, particularly in a Marlin lever gun, but the rainbow trajectory makes it more difficult to use at longer ranges. For elk, most "deer rifles" well...- M700

Hunting & Fishing A few rock chucks
My youngest son and I went out with the varmint rifles, a 6mm Rem and a .204 Ruger, and nailed a few rock chucks recently. A good time, and a great way to improve marksmanship & field skills: Yes, he put the ear protection in place before shooting... Loaded 75 gr Sierra HP's to about...- M700
