Sika Kill with .300 BLK **Graphic**

[Redneck]

I took this big 65lb hind (dressed) yesterday morning from about 70 yards with my .300BLK. She ran 30-40 yards at most. Never really found a blood trail, but I didn't look very hard either I just walked to where I saw her go down in the woods and there she was. Overall it did very well. Thanks to Dan at Gun Connection for putting this together for me.

The gun


The Sika


The shot


Both are entrance wounds...devastating

HEI from the looks of things.

Agreed, it definitely did the business from looks of it.

I only ask because my preferred round for 300BLK use so far has been the 110gr V-max, but I haven't had a chance to take anything with that specific round yet.

Sunday like a fun day. Now I'm hungry.

I forgot to mention the round, I'm using Remington Accu Tips 125gr

Looks like they did very well.

That's my SD round.

I'm hoping for a chance to see what a V-max round will do, I'll readjust my loadout based on the end results.

Nice. I'll be going on Saturday to hunt deer. I didn't have any luck this past week. It was really windy and cold.

BTW, didn't Obama and his lefty minions say those types of rifles are not used for hunting by hunters? LOL.

Agreed..nice to see what it can do. Although the ONLY reason I would want a .300 is to suppress and can't do that legally in MD while hunting.

Get a quick detach. Problem solved!

Right cool, now we know what a 7.62X39 kill would look like with similar bullet. The advantage of that cartridge is............ allows for much heavier bullet????

I was/am unaware of any statute regarding the use of suppressors for hunting. Would you please provide the source this info for me?

More power than the x39 (by 17% IIRC), better feeding and better durability in a AR platform, (depending on barrel) much better accuracy up close and out some distance than the x39 (I've already shown my 1.18" group at 105 yards with this cartidge).

And since you brought it up, the ability to run 110gr to 240gr rounds in the same gun.

Not according to this so maybe, maybe not.

I was wondering when you'd post your first kill of the season. Nice looking deer Sir.

I don't know what type of load he was running for the 110gr round, but my numbers are coming up diff't, granted the 110gr isn't the hardest hitting, but I get more velocity and ft/lbs out of it then that chart is showing.
