Thread: Deer Caliber + Ammo Cost

Matt,
I have in the way of T3's
1 x 223
1 x 308
2 x 300wm
I use box ammo on the 223 & 308, a mixture of box & reloads on the 300's
I took the 308 & 300wm lite to aussie in August, dropping pigs, horse's & donkeys from 30yds - 200 odd yards and dead is dead, they couldn't tell the
difference between calibres.
I was undertaking a lot of rapid fire scenarios on mobs of animals, you won't have that here, the lites have some recoil so all mine have been tamed with Limbsavers, the 300's have breaks or suppressors fitted. The 300 I took to aussie had a break and shot perfecty, it shot a heap of animals & it wasn't until I was cleaning it to pack away on my return to NZ that I noticed the scope rail was loose, quite a bit I must say. I should have loctited the 4 crub screws in. They couldn't handle the rapid fire of 2 x 10 round mags x 20 changes. When I got home I removed the scope & torqued up the screws & one snapped so I need to carefully drill & remove it.
