I bet the Hornady loads are great as usual but we will see. I dont expect the $8.99 Winchester to do under an inch. Not a fan of many Winchester loads/Components anyway.

It’s done. I’m ordering a foregrip and a sling. It’s range ready. It’s topped with a Vortex Venom 3moa red dot.

My brother and I ordered the Savage axis package Dunham’s had on sale for $275. They are back ordered and who knows when they will get here. I bought it for my son anyways so not worried if it comes in for this season. Can’t wait to shoot it though.

I just don't like a bullet that fragments, if that is what happened., I prefer a bullet that stays in one piece and makes two holes in a deer. A bullet that stays together just provides for more forgiving shot locations. You can shoot through the ribs, shoulder bone, stem to stern or the other way and know you are going to get maximum penetration.

I realize a lot of guys like bullets that expend all of the energy in the deer and don't create two holes, I'm just not one of them. If a situation arises where I want to anchor an animal where it stands by taking the high shoulder bone shot I want a bullet that allows me to do that. I'm sure you remember all of the posts about very poor bullet performance of the 250 gr. shockwaves fragmenting. I have zero concern about the caliber being more than capable of doing everything it needs to do, I also know that not all bullets are created equal for performance on the animal which is really what all of the work, time and money is about upfront. After all of that to get the shot opportunity I want to do everything I can to make sure I have bullet construction that leads to the desired results with the highest percentage of success.

I need to note that I have ZERO knowledge of what bullets are being used in the various factory offered ammunition and their designed performances. I was only commenting on observed bullet performance on a deer earlier in the thread.

Just what I do, to each his own
