Re: Anyone used 6.8 SPC on deer?
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: 500grains</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Yeah, I know cuz I have shot lots of deer with 7 mag, 300 mag, 270, 3006, 6mm, 2506, 358, even 338, 375 and 45-70. But I was wondering if anyone has actually shot deer with the 6.8, and what their experience has been. Thanks. </div></div>
I've killed 3 so far with mine. 2 in the last month. First one I killed at 210 yards last season with a speer 100 grain sp. The bullet wasn't super accurate but I still hit the boiler room.
The last two were at 75 and 160 yards using Sierra 115 grain SMK's. Not a hunting bullet but still very effective. The shot at 75 yards had one entry hole and exploded the heart. The 160 yard shot was an almost clean pass through with good expansion. The bullet expanded, took a good channel out of both lungs, and I found a piece of copper jacket on the outside of the exit wound, but no lead spray from fragmentation.
I'm switching over to Sierra 100 grain Pro-hunters and try out some Nosler 110 grain accubonds this summer(both bullets I hear are very accurate and very effective)
