Thread: new little pig

Got a new model 7 308 last week, Chucked a vx3i 3-10 on her. Put a post up o0n the forum asking about good pills to use load data etc and got helped out by a heap of fellas on here so thanks a heap. Got some 150 sierra game king. 47grns had an ok group at 100m going 2770 then 48grns had a tidy group going 2820 so I settled for them as too impatient to try others once I get a good group. So I loaded another 4 bombs up and went for a 5 hour bush stalk this evening. Stalked in on 18 odd hinds and fawns. Settled for a yearling at about 20m. Gameking laid her down no problems, exited after mushing up lungs and making a good old mess. So took meat and wondered on out , stalking a couple stags on way then smacking 3 goats at 30 odd meters also. Chucked meat in chiller to hang for a week or two and the jobs right. Beer time. Sierras seem very good killers. Big open wounds, but will be interesting come the roar, time will tell on that. Cheers again.

Thats good going! Public bush?

Amazing that lead core bullets can still kill deer these days

You do know you could have brought the latest trendy monolithic ttsx projectiles for 4x the price and done the same job?

Good stuff! Great looking rifle too! Love those little model 7s.

You've blooded it well.

Managed to get this fella right on dark yesterday evening also. Shes going well

Good effort , Cracker head no palm split! is it hard underneath ?

cheers, nah full palms which is good. Not many splits around as I cull them out. nah still softish

I haven't seen any stags in a while , I was a little naughty yesterday came upon a hind in the bush had no idea I was there for a change , couldn't help my self didn't see the fawn...do you guys think fawns are old enough to survive now without mum about ?
