    Winchester extreme point

    I took a doe the other day with a Winchester extreme point. The rifle was a 308 win. the bullet 150 grain shot was about 100 yards frontal just right of the left shoulder about where the neck meets the body. The doe did not go anywhere drt. The bullet came apart I kind of expect with these kind...

    lost accuracy

    Thanks for all the replies. I don't know what happened at first it was working great then the baffle strike. What I find odd is none of the other baffles seem to be getting hit only the last one. I wonder if found someone who was good with a drill press or lathe could open the last one just a...

    should I?

    I have been thinking about getting a 6.5 creedmoor. I read a bit about but really can not see the need other than it might be a fun round to load for and shoot. I hunt with a 308 win, with a Hornady 165 gn sst and it works wonders. Yet I find myself trying to justify the purchase of another gun.

    ATV advice

    my experience is limited. I have a Honda rancher 2 wheel drive once the back end goes down in mud, I am sure to get stuck. my buddy has a Polaris 4 wheel drive 4 wheeler and he has yet to get stuck.

    Aim point, which are you?

    in my limited experience I like a 308 win. with 165 gn Hornady SST most of my shots are within a 100 yards or less. I shoot behind the shoulder most drop. Last year I shot too far back on a doe and she ran about 75 yards. I believe if I had hit her closer to her shoulder she too would have dropped.

    what caliber

    I am considering getting into long range hunting and shooting. I have been looking at the 300 Win. mag and the 338 Lapua. Leaning towards the 300 because brass is cheaper and could get ammo just about anywhere and cheaper. I would like to be able to harvest a deer some day at a 1000 yards. I can...
