What's everyone shooting this year for deer?

[ShootDots]

I'm using my 30-06 AI with hornady 150 sst bullets.on whitetail!

I know what you shoot Vince and I know how well you use that weapon. I am quite sure that if the deer were as aware of you as I am, they would all flee your lease in terror! LOL!!!

My grounds are off limits to center fires so a Parker Buckbuster 175lb during the rut. Gun season will see the .45 smokeless muzzleloader shooting from the stands and a Benelli 20ga M2 slug gun for the drives.

I'll be packing a 260 AI using Palma brass shooting 140 vld's @ 3050 fps

My backup rifle for my buddies and whoever else that may have a gun/scope problem is a Remington 5R shooting 208 Amax @ 2860 fps

I love shooting past 1300 with a Win Mag and 230 Hybrids but honestly that 260 AI hits the steel like a champ (power wise) side by side with a Win Mag. Either way the Mulies are in trouble.

This year? A Savage in 25-06 and my trusty little Mod 70 in 270-08 Improved.

I used my 300 Ultra with 180Gr. sciracco this year and nailed a nice muley that happened to field dress at 200lbs. It has been a long time since I have had good venison! a real treat now for sure.

My old XP in 6.5x 47 (222 rem mag nkd up), Daughter is taking the SBE slug gun. Son is taking the XP in 6.5 IHMSA.

I can't seem to draw a tag, the last couple years. Guess I'll have to stick with .22 shorts.

Two seasons ago I nailed a nice buck that just barely weighed over 300 pounds (307 pounds). Old boy for sure in his decline.

Smokless muzzleloader from Ashland Gun Innovations, shoots in the .1s with a 300g Parker @ 2850.

Anxiously awaiting the season to start.

 

[Larryh128]

270 built on a Kar 98 action /Shilen barrel/ Hi-Tech Stock/Timney Trigger/ Burris Electro-Dot scope OR a 300WSM built on a commercial 98 action/Pac-Nor Fluted #4 barrel/Jard Trigger/ Composite stock/ Weaver Illuminated Super Slam. Both are very accurate.

Have you ever tried the 105 Berger VLDs or A Max in your 6mm?

Unless you have an 8 twist it will not work. Might get away with a 9 but I doubt it. Matt

I haven't had stability issues with mine that has a 1-9" twist.

I haven't decided what I'll shoot this year, yet. I normally drag out my favorite 280 AI. This time I might try a big boy 7 RUM that I got stuck with about 5 years ago. The customer never paid and can't be reached any longer, evidently. It should be great for the beanfield blind. It's a nice rifle...trued up 700 with a Bartlien #4. It's fixing to get a brake and a BDL stock, along with a little load development. If I like it, I may keep it, but the older I get, the smaller my guns have gotten. It may be for sale soon, too.--Mike
