Guys. I'd like to share a story, that I actually put in my Welcome page, that absolutely made a believer out of me.
Rifle was a Remington Sendero, originally a 25.06, reamed to AI. Load was 62 grains of 7828ssc, 92 hh, seated and crimped to the top groove.
So, last day of the regular Rifle season, last ten minutes. I was hunting a large field, from a shooting bench, mind you, and five breeder does came out of the hedgerow, 270 yards to my hard left. I lined up on the biggest doe, as she advanced, squeezed, and fired. On impact, she leaped in the air six ft, and I could see her belly. She ht the ground, got up, ran back into the hedgerow. I walked down to where she stood. Looked through the trees, saw her laying not 30 yards from where she was hit. Then I caught site if another, blob in the field, about another 30 yards away from her, but parallel. I suddenly realized that I had inadvertently shot and killed two.
This is where it gets interesting. When the deer were cleaned and examined, the first deers chest cavity was soup, and the petals had done their damage for sure.
But the only thing that hit the #2 deer was the shank. Complete penetration, through the heart, and clipped both lungs, or at least one, and the shank, balled up in the skin, out side of the far side ribcage.
I'm gonna attempt to attach a pic.
This was my selling point to Hammer Bullets.
I called Butterbean immediately. He was ecstatic.
