What is the twist rate on that barrel?
Yes that is correct the deer was in a ditch and the entrance caught the lower back bone and exited the shoulder.WOW! That is some carnage for sure. I love my 35 Whelen, but I have not tried the Hammer bullets. I have never experienced an exit would of that size though in the several deer I've shot with it.
Can you give a little more detail on the shot. Placement, angle, etc? It appears the exit is on the right side shoulder, is that correct? Thanks.
Gotcha, that makes sense, and explains all the mess! I am hoping to get an opportunity to try my 35W on elk this season, I've shot 5-6 deer with it and have always been impressed. Congratulations on the deer!Yes that is correct the deer was in a ditch and the entrance caught the lower back bone and exited the shoulder.
I hit a lot of bone.
2900 with a 220 gr bullet? Is that a typo???? That's faster than the 338 Win mag and about on par with the 340 Weatherby......with an 06 casing?????
No typo 64 grains of Power Pro Varmint shot from an 1885 Highwall with 28" barrel
