Thread: A question for the doubters

I remain of the view that there is value in using a calibre/projectile that blows big holes out the other side..... has helped me find a number of Sika bush hunting over the years.

Maxx I absolutely agree my old FS Boss Russell Hulme called 222 and 223 squaw guns he carried an 8mm - I hate blood trailing 222 wounded deer

I went for a stroll with Russel, his shooting was no better than mine.
After the bomb up Russ turned back to Sutherland's hut whilst I continued to the saddle to the heads of the Washpool, fair bit of snow that year and as the snow was getting dislodged by a breeze and melt the deer started to come out into the open, wouldn't be much fun getting dumped on, in the end there were 13 that did that.

Can't go anywhere with no brain, 1 shot penetrating into the skull cavity and calibre is largely irrelevant.
