Looks like I’ve got me some winnings to collect!

You’ll never get 7mm, 150 gn Barnes TTSX to stabilise out of an 18 inch barrel they say, looks like I’ve got me some winnings to collect

For those who doubted me, please form an orderly cute to kiss my arse

I honestly that you are becoming one of the most influential experts in the deer world in the uk? Have you ever thought about starting a podcast or something? I think that we could all be better stalkers if we could absorb some of your greatness!

 

[Longstrider]

Call that a group ? None of the holes overlap !

 

[hendrix's rifle]

We classing that as a flyer given it went through sideways?



Before everyone starts, its a joke, simmer down

Near enough for me

At one hundred yards Nosler Partition 100 grain flew what seemed straight enough from my Parker Hale M81 Classic in 6mm Remington. At three hundred yards they were going through the target side on. Having started to tumble at maybe two hundred yards. So never count you chickens until you've tried bullets at longer distances you think may not stabilise.

It’s an 18 inch barrel, I won’t be shooting over 150 with Copper, nowadays if I can’t shoot it between 100 and 150 it stays where it is I’m too long in the tooth to be chasing things about, I’ve killed enough this is future proofing my retirement rifle!

Had a little dig In the mud and my survey says that’s enough expansion for me

Pressure is good, recon I could get another 1/2gn in if I need a tad more wallop

I’m curious. Who said it wouldn’t stabilise?

I’ve seen comments about long copper and twist. Which are accurate

But who said the 150 wouldn’t stabilise in a 7x57 out of interest

The first person who told me it wouldn’t stabilise was a bloke in the pub of which I’m now going to see him tomorrow and relieve him of 100 quid

 

[Leec6.5]

For the record, I will say it is not the fact that it’s copper or lead, it’s the fact in their evident wisdom that they said it couldn’t be done. It wouldn’t work. That’s the only reason I did it!

I’ve never failed to get a bullet to shoot yet

Is that a 4" square..

 

[devon deer stalker]

not a bad group for 25m

 

[75]

not a bad group for 25m

On a 4" black square

 

[Leec6.5]

Just bumped up the load a grain to 45gn H4350 loaded up 10 rounds and ran 5 over the chronograph, their cutting some rug!

Gnats cock over 2500fps that’ll give me guaranteed expansion up to 300m which is plenty far enough for me these days I will assure you!

 

[HonestJohn]

You need to shoot it at 200 to really see if they stabilise or start to tumble.

No I don’t really because the last time I shot a deer over 200 m maximum was about five years ago, if I can’t shoot it at 100 or under 9 out of 10 times it can could stay where it is!

I’m in the world of deer management retirement and shooting things if I wish to shoot them I’m taking part in non-necessity killing if I so wish to be

Barrel length has absolutely nothing to do with it.

A lot of so called experts in copper projectiles will disagree with you!

Me I’m just feral and load them up

 

[Dalua]

No I don’t really because the last time I shot a deer over 200 m maximum was about five years ago,

I suppose it depends on whether the bet was about whether the bullet would stabillise, or whether you could get it to shoot an acceptable group at 100m?
