Lawn art carnage....

[Batchief909]

Shot the Renegade that I got from SL'er Sunday morning. Started off with 70gr. of Swiss 3F. Did decent,,,but went up to 80gr. Did better,,and settled on that for the time being.

Last 4 shots averaged an inch or so at 50 yards with the open sites.

Then Nimrodder and I decided to whack some innocent chunks of concrete,,at the same distance.

The load was 80gr. of Swiss 3F...followed by an unlubed felt wad..then a 460gr. Bullshop conical sized at .503. RWS #11 caps....

I like it, Mike. Shes thoroughly cleaned and resting comfortably... :wink:

Now that is hilarious. :lol:

 

[Nimrodder]

Those were some tough critters :lol: . Wonder how them deer would have stood up to a BS 620 grainer . SL, that gun was alot of fun to shoot and mighty accurate.

 

[Semisane]

DAMN!!! Ya` totally screwed up the tenderloins. :lol:

There laying at the top of the picture!!

WOW... I do believe that will penetrate a deer.

That is a heck of a test for a conical bullet. It would have been interesting if you had recovered it, but I am sure it splattered. That swiss is some good stuff.

Hmmmm, looks to me like that 460 BS went and over expanded/blew up on the shoulder. Probably best to stick with the bow hunters shot " behind the leg and into the lungs"

 

[Nimrodder]

Dave, we shot 2 concrete deer that day. One with the muzzy and the other with my 12ga slug gun. I found one bullet that I believe is from the the shotgun. The round was a Remington Buckhammer 1 1/4 oz slug.

I would have paid money to be there for the carnage!

I will take that assumption into full consideration, Gander! Thanks for your input!!

I always try to see things from your point of view.

Lately.....I'm just having a hard time shoving my head that far up my azz... 8)

Oh Deer!!!

I did not think you and Nim would really do that... shoot the yard art! Holy cow :!: :!: :!: ifn I did that here, i kin only imagine that carnage that might happen - and it would not happen to the 'yard art'

That gun is a good shooter but I was pushing the bull shop along a bit harder with 90 grains T7-3f... UC tolt me I was nutz!

 

[Batchief909]

You ARE nutz! :lol: Thank God for the recoil pad it has! :shock: :lol:

 

[Omega45]

You guys ruined your backyard decoy. Could have came from an unsuccessful hunt and found a buck fighting with your lawn art like this guy did. :lol:

 

[Batchief909]

LOL!!

Man, I just checked the prices of those concrete deer... :shock: :shock:

 

[Nimrodder]

I got 3 more . I'm saving the concrete buck for my eight year old who is going to participate in Indiana's youth deer hunt in September . He needs a realistic target LOL.
