Thread: Walnut stock build (done the traditional way)

The first 3 deer I short was with the 85gr HPBT Sierra, including a red spiker, the biggest red hind I be ever seen and her yearling. Bullet performance was great. Next three I shot with (believe it or not) the 100gr Core Lokt. Great penetration, low bruising/meat wastage but potentially slightly slower killing than the 85s.
Next bullet I’m going to try (because they’re on the shelf) will be the 85gr SPT Sierra Varminter. Should be just a touch softer than the HPBT. My rifle seems to prefer flat base bullets, so I’ll only be using that style from here on.
I’ve got a good mate who has shot large quantities of game with a number of 6x45s, and has never used anything heavier than 75gr in his. His #1 6x45 was even built with a 1-14 twist! It’s very accurate and very fast. He’s currently knocking all his deer over with the 75gr V-Max. His comments and yours have got me wanting to try the 75gr Sierra at some point.
