TARGET BULLETS ARE NOT HUNTING BULLETS!

[sierracharlie338]

You should frame that photo, it is just amazing. Warmth, color, your daughter's smile, it brings a smile to my face. Congrats to her and you!!!

Couldn't agree more. A very well done photo worthy of a frame.

OP please tell me this was with a high dollar camera and not a phone? I'd really hate to sell my camera gear…

Both of these should be going around 3300 FPS next season in the 7-300 NMI and 6 PRC

It's about a $10,000 camera set up. Do you feel better?



















Just kidding. It's an iPhone 14 Pro…

The camera in the 14 pro was a big step up from the 13 pro

That's it I'm selling all my crap!


Again great shot! Mind sharing details on the rifle in the pic?

Pretty simple. Add a bag of ice to the bottom of a large ice chest throw in a hind quarter and a front shoulder, add some more ice throw in the other hind quarter and the front quarter and your trim and cover with ice.

Keep it closed up and drain as needed. The ice will melt fairly quickly at the beginning, but once the meat is cooled to the bone, the ice will last a long time. Replace ice as necessary. I've done two antelope and a deer this year so far with the ice aging method and left them for 12 days. I don't think it hurts to rotate the meat either but sometimes the ice gets really hard and it's hard to access the meat.

As you drain the water, it will be extremely bloody at first, but by the seventh or eighth day it's barely pink. I think it does a good job of removing all of the blood. Everything I've eaten has been very tender and mild.

You can add some salt to the process also if you like. Sort of like brining. i do fish and alligator that way for about a week. Really takes a lot of blood and gamey taste out of the meat.

Do

Don't tell my hunting buddy that! He's killed enough deer to cover a F150 with no part of the truck showing with an Amax, and now ELDMs.

I can relate!

Not a 180gr but an 88gr out of a 22Creed. Shot distance was just over 350 yards. I wanted to try them a little farther out but....View attachment 411336View attachment 411337

I call BS! You shot that with those 9mm Lung Blowers!

Hopefully y'all can open these. 6.5 Grendel 123 eldm at 2500fps mv. The last 4 photos are 140 eldm at 150 yards from 6.5-06 running 2990 at muzzle.

The buck was slightly quartered toward me. I had to hit shoulder or I would have exited guts. This is the result of those crappy target bullets. I'm guess I should consider myself "lucky" that this was "enough" to kill him.

Meat loss isn't too bad. How was the other side?

 

[Gzuccarini]

With 6mm 108gn ELDm's in a 6 Creed, shooting Springbok headshots...past 200m I get no expansion...calibre in calibre out...Until recently there were no LR Varmint type bullets suitable for the 6 Creed with its long freebore

 

[Ronald W Schaefer]

So great job and congratulations. I think my question is not whether They'll work or not but why choose them (target bullets) over the thousand other bullets specifically designed for hunting?

 

[Josh06]

A 180 eldm has no business being shot at an animal you unethical sons of guns!! Oh wait…never mind.

I thought this was going to be some interesting reading in the blind this morning sitting here with my 280ai loaded with 180eldm's.....hoping to shoot a deer with them today, so far only hogs and coyotes. This guy only went about 20 yards after being hit with one....pretty good test of a bullet.

 

[Shortmag11]

My daughter has a PSA for everyone.

TARGET BULLETS CAN'T KILL ELK!

They definitely won't go through both shoulders and at least one rib…oh wait..

Merry Christmas ya filthy animals.
