In the Ear? Really???

[John@redmt]

I guess I'll try and get the thread back on track. Today is opening day of CA. A zone deer for rifle. I didn't want to spook anything that may cross my path by shooting a lowly pig so I went out yesterday morning. This is about 100+ yds with my trusty Ruger American Ranch .223/5.56. That's the caliber that guys say won't drop a pig. I say they are wrong. It's about an inch off the ear and out through the off side shoulder. Barnes 62 gr. with a little powder behind it.

He's back!

When did you get paroled? I thought you had another 4 months on your sentence?

thanks, but i don't show the misses, lol

Are you using a 308 or 6.5 Creed?

 

[djones]

funny you should ask. i was using a 6.8 for a while but switched to a wilson combat 300 ham'r a year or two ago.

 

[djones]

uses ar15 lower/upper, bolt, carrier... everything. you can literally screw on a 300 hamr barrel to a 223/556 and hit the ground hunting. i use 300 blackout mags from pmag and lancer because i think they work better for 30 cal, but that's just me.

 

[djones]

i got confused where i left off on videos so there is some overlap on this one... but a few new shots as well...

 

[djones]

wilson has been in africa for a week or hunting with the hamr. it'll shoot up to 150gr bullets.

"Shot this old boar 10min after checking zero on my rifles!
140yd shot, 150gr Bonded, full penetraion with a quartering shot, DRT"
