Damn, Smoke....that's some serious exit wound! What were you pushing that 95grn with? 6.5-06? Keep busting them open like a watermelon and sharing the pix with us!

Cheers,
Breeze

I believe on this load I used 55 grain of H4350 but I don't have it in front of me at this moment. The round looks darn near identical to a 300 WSM except it has a belt and of course the 6.5 bullet.
I love how it shoots and what it will do.
I killed a good sized 150 lb doe with it this past year using a 100 grain tipped Barnes and I wasnt pushing it hard and it still broke out out 2" of ribs going into front of chest, obliterated one lung and imbedded right under skin on opposite side of deer about three feet away from entry point. I was very pleased.
I'm probably going to try 120 grain tipped barnes and bump it a touch faster.

Brother man, that has to be one of the most 'sploded yotes ive ever seen. That is just badass! Can't wait to see more destruction.

I intend on wacking one with my 300 ultrastoopid as soon as I can shoot the big stuff again.

Smoke, I have often thought of necking down the 7SAUM to 6.5. I still may.
Please keep us informed on your load development, and how Mjolnir performs. (After seeing that 'yote, it truly is the hammer of Thor!!)
