Yes but at that point i am going to grab my 45acp AR SBR. To me that would make more sense. And off the shelf ammo would already be subsonic and a whole lot less expensive. That's why for me I didn't see the point of 308 subs.
He did mention already that at first, he could not see the use of 300 black out but later found why it is helpful.
You are welcome to do you. I have friends who have tracked blood trail from a deer hit with 6.5CM and never found the deer. I myself will stick with calibers that will for sure put the animal down in one shot like 30/06 etc. That is my opinion. Some people will hunt at 600 yards plus, again I would NOT do that as I don't view it as humane because I can't guarantee a kill shot at that distance.
Thanks. Some friends and I were basically just sitting about BS-ing about what it would do at distances further than 50 yrds and were curious.
The Off shelf 308 subs I tried were looking about 3-4 moa but also keyholed a good number of rounds. To me it just didn't make more sense to spend more money than 300blk for less performance. Also this video was the result f some of us sitting around pondering....
I wasn't comparing it to anything. I thought it was good show of terminal effect from a slow projectile.
If you can't shoot a deer in the brain with a 22 you shouldn't hunt squirrels with one either. Its inhumane to gut shoot a squirrel too.
Are you using Dacron or similar filler?
not familiar with that so no.
Good way to ring a chamber in a bottleneck cartridge...not to mention causing problems with your can.
At least one person I knew who hunted squirrels preferred head shots in order to capitalize on the meat.
That was kinda my point. 308 subs off the shelf are super expensive. It makes much more sense to just grab a 45, 1911 or an SBR. Either one to me makes more sense than 308 subs.
Not deer. People wound deer with 6.5 CM...there fore....you shouldn't shoot them with a 22.
Somehow, I knew this would be the punchline.
More deer have been shot with a .22 LR than all the bolt guns put together... just ask any game warden what the poachers have used since the turn of the last century.
And Elmer Fudd, I mean, Elmer Keith wounded elk with a .35 Whelen. Bullet placement counts.
Lemme see I got this straight.....
No, that’s part of the point. I think it had been hit in 3 of 4 legs and maybe gut shot as well (it’s been close to 20 years). “Looking for the deer” was mostly comprised of the shooter and his son in law speeding around the property on a pair of quads. They eventually decided to “let him lay” and we went to hunt another property. The deer was found about 30 yards (across a tree line) from where he was shot- in a place the shooter ans SiL swore they scoured.
I figured there was more to it than you first let on, just wanted to rattle your cage a bit.
I must have misheard it, then.
