    Hunting & Fishing 123 lapuas for hunting

    Re: 123 lapuas for hunting Don't miss vitals! I have had problems with them not expanding and pin holing deer. I killed 2 with 123 scenars. One 8 pointer ran about 60 - 70 yards. The other was a piss poor shot and hit in the guts. Never recovered him, even with a hired tracking dog...

    Re: Talbot Co. Ga 9 Pointer We are headed back down that weekend after thanksgiving. Probably won't see much rut activity then but maybe we will get lucky. It did seem about a week off this year.

    Hunting & Fishing A Couple (+2) of Southern VA Bucks - Updated

    Re: A Couple of Southern VA Bucks I just meant that its interesting that you have 6 pointers that big. Most of the 6 pointers around here are little basket rack 1 1/2 year olds. Those look like older deer. We did cull a 3 1/2 year old 5 pointer this year that weighed 246 lbs. He did not...

    Hunting & Fishing Talbot Co. Ga 9 Pointer

    Got him yesterday evening just before dark. He came out in a food plot running does. Ran them off then came back by himself to feed. Shot him about 170 yards with a 120 amax from my APA 6.5 Lapua. He only took 3 bounds and fell over dead! He has a forked G2 on his right side. Its hard to...

    Range Report 6.5x47 chronographed

    Re: 6.5x47 chronographed 35g RL 15. 26" Broughton. I know Litz has that info on G7 but I have not bought a copy yet. The re-sizer die I am using is a little out of spec. Its a forster bench rest and it does not bump the shoulder back enough.That causes some pressue so I can run the hotter...

    Range Report 6.5x47 chronographed

    I got a chance to actually chrono my rifle. I had been backing come ups into JBM for a while and thought it was running around 2850. Found out I am at a lot slower node than that. 123 Scenar average 2750 120 A-Max average 2795 It was suprising. Not going to change anything, it shoots...

    Hunting & Fishing 6.5 x 47 for a hunting rifle.

    Re: 6.5 x 47 for a hunting rifle. I use one for hunting. Stay clear of Scenars would be my only advice. I shoot white tails with mine and the Scenars don't get much expansion. They pretty much pin hole. Look at using either A-max or unting VLD's from Berger and you will be happy.

    projetile deforming during seating

    I started loading 120 amax for my 6.5L for white tail loads. I normally run 123 scenars. When I seat the round it seams like the die is creating a slight deformation where it engages the projectile. Its hard to see but you can feel it with your fingers. Seems to squish it in a little. They...
