Show off your 277 wildcats

[Bghunter338]

Hopefully I will be able to test his 175gr t-rex out of my 7 stw next month on a cow elk. After seeing what the 27 is doing with the 160s I don't see a problem !!

Yes, it's spot on out to 500. As of now that's my max until I get some more trigger time with these.
This is a picture of my 7 stw with the 175gr t-rex.

Wait, are you talking the 160gr 284 or the 160gr 277?

I'm using the 160gr. 277 in my 27 Sherman mag, and this last picture is from my 7 stw and the 175gr t-rex at 500.

Any luck with the 150 SBD-2's in your 27 Sherman?
