[QUOTE="kdrogers71775, post: 2946752, member: 128095"] Ive been taking whitetails on my father n laws farm. We have permits to hunt them 24/7 due to crop damage. Ive been loading lapua scenars for target shooting but had several handloads left over so i took them with me to see how they would perform on some big does. Everyone says target bullets DO NOT work for hunting. Well......i fired 5 shots with the 6.5 PRC with 139gn scenars at around 3150fps. Not a single one made it out of the field. 4 dropped in their tracks....1 walked 20 yds and dropped. Is this normal???.....all of the wounds showed great internal organ damage, a few "pass-throughs" that exited at roughly the size of a baseball. Im honestly considering making this my go-to whitetail loaf now. Did i just get lucky? This is 7 or 8 deer now taken with this exact same load. One taken at 350 yds that looked like you gave him a shot of morphine. (Nosed up, layed down, went to sleep)......all i here online is NEVER USE TARGET ROUNDS TO HUNT WITH...ITS UNETHICAL. But honestly....these deer are dropping way better than most anything else ive ever hunted with. Just curious.... Thanks everyone. [/QUOTE]
