I’ve had my Blackout for two weeks. We’ve shot two deer, one goat and two hares with it. We used 190g subx for the big/medium game.

First deer was around 70 yards and ran in a 10 yarss circle before dropping on the ground. It was shot straight through the chest, front on. It was gasping when I walked over to it so I gave it one in the head. It probably would had died, it had heart/lung damage.

Second deer was 70 yards away and was shot side on high and quite far forward, almost in the neck. It dropped on the spot and was laying on the ground gaspinging when we walked up to it. We cut its throat and broke its neck, it may have died if we didn’t.

The goat was 150 yards away, using a VX2 LR reticle I knew it was dead on between the post and second dot. I hit it exact in the crease smashing its far shoulder, it was standing side on feeding. It ran 10 yards and we later could see blood pouring from a hole, on the far side, when it bleated on video. It ran another 10 yards and I dropped it with another side on shot at 150 yards. It would have bleed to death if left, I don’t think it would be a good idea to share the video.

My observations so far. I’m going to shoot a heap more big/medium game with it before I say to much more about the projectile.

With my Remington Tactical (or is it taticool) with a VX2 3-7 LR, I think 200 yards will be the maximum, I’ve proved that on steel. A VX5 With a CDS would be a perfect scope for this rifle and projectile at subsonic speeds in my opinion.

Watch this space. :-)
