Hunting & Fishing Groundhog vs 338 LM Imp

[Jerry R]

I was really curious to see what a 300 gr Match King would do to a groundhog at extended ranges and I got to find out last weekend fireforming some brass. This one was shot at 574 yd and needless to say I was pretty impressed. Entrance was dead center of left shoulder and exit was about 5" in diameter.

This is the effects of a 100 gr Nosler Ballistic Tip running 3590 fps from a 25-06 Ackley at roughly 217 yd. The empty carcass landed about three feet from the point of impact one way, all internals went two feet in the other direction. Impact was at the base of the neck in front of the shoulder quartering to me. These results are very common with this load.

He's actually folded in half and his head is laying up under his tail.

This was one of your PA ghogs. I plan to get up there this week and pile up a few more.

OK, I'll play... This was done by my .22-250 Improved, Sierra BK Moly 50gr at 3940 fps, distance a whopping 125 yards.
One of the best aerials I've seen for a while, he cartwheeled off the rock he was sitting on in two or three directions. This was the biggest piece.

This was at point blank (20 yards) using a 7x57 and a Nosler 150gr Ballistic Tip.
