    What subsonic straight wall cartridge for whitetail? Not 45-70 or crossbow

    I've used 357 mag 158gr XTP with max load of H110 out of a 6" revolver with success. Not sure of the velocity as it was before I owned a chronograph.

    What subsonic straight wall cartridge for whitetail? Not 45-70 or crossbow

    Sounds like what I'm after, is there a name for this cartridge? I have an an encore and enjoy it so it would be ok to get a new barrel for it.

    What subsonic straight wall cartridge for whitetail? Not 45-70 or crossbow

    No it is not a straight wall case, it is also too long. I reload so I can work up subsonic loads if there aren't any factory available. Maybe 360 buckhammer with expanding copper bullets? again, I'm just brainstorming and wondering if there is something out there.

    What subsonic straight wall cartridge for whitetail? Not 45-70 or crossbow

    None. Just my own interest. Just thinking about a fun caliber with the potential to take a backyard buck. Something like the 8.6 blk but straight wall. Maybe 450 bushmaster with subX bullets, 45 colt with hard lead keith style bullets. 44 mag with expanding copper bullets etc?

    Only self imposed restriction was fitting through my .46 cal suppressor. The rest of the restrictions are put in place by the state hunting regulations. In a portion of the state you are not allowed to use bottleneck rifle cartridges. In that area the cartridge must be .35 cal and over and...

    What subsonic straight wall cartridge for whitetail? Not 45-70 or crossbow

    Mostly theoretical thinking right now, but what straight wall cartridge and bullet would you pick for subsonic whitetail hunting? I'm in MI so it must be .35 cal or over and min case length of 1.16" and max case length of 1.8" For my personal restrictions it must fit through my .46 caliber...

    6.5 grendel projectiles

    28.5 gr of TAC (29 is listed as max on Lehigh website) gives me 2450 fps from my howa mini 20" barrel using 110 controlled chaos bullets from 6.5 grendel. Very good accuracy at 100 yrds, but I didn't test them further. Will load up some more to use for the season.

    Are “Plugged” lever guns legal in your state’s straight wall season?

    In MI the magazine limit seems to only apply to semi-automatic firearms.

    What’s your go-to for “Straight Wall” season?

    In MI we are limited to cases that have a length between 1.16 and 1.8 inches so 45-70 is not legal.

    .270 on whitetail - short range

    130gr Nosler accubonds. Probably 18+ whitetail from 50 to 220 yards and only 1 has gone more than 10 feet. They stay together well.

    Lunch Options on 10 day backpacking hunt

    I don't like to get out the stove for lunch. For me it's tortillas peanut butter and honey or something similar

    Thank you, I have TAC and varget but with the cost of the bullets I didn't want to spend a lot of time testing powders.
