[QUOTE="glbhunter, post: 1487440, member: 100645"] 220 swift, Ruger heavy barrel factory rifle. Purchased in about 1972. Today it Will shoot .235 when I can do it, at hundred. Shooting R-15 Barnes 53 gr. TSX Flat base 3915 FPS. This rifle has accounted for 18 deer in its life time, some by other family members. Last deer my dad took with it when he was 83 years old. Shot was about 250 yds and he Hit it at the base of the ear. Impressed the heck out of me. The bullet I was using then was a Sierra and 4895 powder 3645fps. My wife shot a deer at 433 yds. I walked her through aiming process, deer was angled and head down hill. She smacked it just behind the left rear rib and I found the bullet opposite side of the neck when I skinned it. I could go on but I won’t. Never lost a deer with it, most dropped in their tracks. [/QUOTE]
