I shot a smallish doe this morning, around 100 pounds, at 230 yards. 6.5 creedmoor suppressed using a 143 grain ELD-X and again it was devastating. I tried to drop her in the road so I could drive to her but she ran about 40 yards. Good blood trail, lungs and heart were jelly, caliber size...
I have an AAC cyclone 7.62 that I bought for my first suppressor that is long and heavy and it works great on a 6.5 in a bog pod. That rifle has a vortex strike eagle on it and it shoots great! Countdown to heads blowing up tick tock 😂😂
I really enjoy shooting animals with a suppressed rifle and hearing the bullet slap meat. My bergara is long and heavier with my suppressor but I don't care. I'll carry a little more weight to be able to hear and not hurt mine or the kids ears.
I'm not saying it couldn't happen. I've seen some deer do some weird things in the past but you made a good shot as far as placement goes and I would have guessed it would have blown lungs out and been dead in 40 yards. 🤷♂️
I have a real hard time believing a deer lived after being shot there with a rifle of any sort. Not saying it couldn't happen but whew I don't know. I'm definitely not flaming you at all and I've shot several with eldx in a creedmoor and I'm happy with the results enough to be very confident in...
180 pound 8 point in Georgia's rifle opener shot with a 6.5 creedmoor suppressed using a factory 143 grain eld-x. Shot was between 100-120 yards complete pass through, he ran about 40 yards heading back to his bedroom. He was pouring blood pretty quick and wasn't hard to find. At the shot it...
I've got several I'll never hunt with that were inherited from my grandparents. I've got a remington jammaster 30-06 that I'm going to shoot a deer with eventually just because that I inherited. If they don't have sentimental value their not safe around my house. There is no telling what I'm...
I've got a Nikon Monarch 2.5-10x50 with duplex reticle for sale with or without the DNZ 1 piece mount. I've owned this scope since it was new first on a 30-06 that was sighted in and sat in the safe and on a 6.5 creedmoor for the past 2 years. It's been hunted with very little. Never had an...
This is by far the dumbest shit I've read on here. Let's remember the 223 thread. I don't want any more kids and my wife doesn't want anymore kids. The vasectomy was far less invasive for me and I'd do it every year over my wife going through that procedure.
Let me revisit this. Our 2 year old has a cannon for an arm, if he can pitch he'll go to college for free. Any who he grabbed a golf ball Wednesday and slung it like usual but it caught me directly in the right nut. It hurt worse than normal, I hurt for a solid day. I'm not sure this pain had...
I've bought about everything over the years that I need to kill deer, turkey and dove here in the South East. Before being married and having kids, if I wanted a new rifle and zeiss or if I wanted to go hunting somewhere out of state I'd go. No questions asked just go. With 3 kids now, a...
I'm South of you in Schley County. I've got a guy here in my home county that does any work I need done and has built a 260 I owned. I don't know about the permanent adapter your wanting. I can shoot you his number and you could call and ask him. Depending on how far into North GA you are this...
Not in a 6.5 cm but I've shot them in 243 and 7mm-08 and they kill deer. I didn't always get the best expansion or blood trails with them but they work. I'm also a basic white trick who shoots 143 eldx because they just work. 😂
If I had to pick 1 to hunt everything anywhere in the world(I doubt I'll ever hunt moose or big bears) I'd choose a 300 win mag or 300 wsm. I have been killing deer and pigs for the last few years with a 6.5 creedmoor and been very pleased. 6.5 prc seems to be a great cartridge as well that I've...
Every time I look at this deer I remember my ears ringing and head hurting. I sold that rifle shortly after, it was a hammer shooting 180 grain ballistic tips loaded pretty hot but damn that gun was loud.
I won't switch from 22 long rifle. I've got ~30k rounds of 22 lr and about 3k 17hmr. My rimfire needs are more than covered😂 I enjoy seeing new calibers and such but this one doesn't do anything for me.
Before I got into the suppressor game I shot several different rifles that had thread on brakes or were ported. I touched off a ported 300 wsm in a tower stand at a 10 point crossing a food plot, I was rushing and didn't put my ear pro on that was sitting in the chair beside me. My ears rang for...
