gun discharge in cockpit.
"Nomen Nescio" wrote in message ... -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- From: Matt Whiting I hand load. I can assemble ammunition for a wide range of purposes with the 7mm Mag. It is an extremely versatile round in that regard. I used it for years for everything from chucks to deer. I bought a nice 220 Swift a few years ago and that is now my varmint rifle. Things are more constrained with factory ammunition, but any real firearms enthusiastic rolls his or her own! :-) Matt Marlin 336 30-30 30 gr 748 pushing a 150 gr Sierra flat nose at about 1900 ft/sec It's still a little overpowered for deer, but it shoots nice. What deer (White tail, I assume, not muley), and at what range? Last mule deer I took was at about 220 yards with a 7mm-08. Matt (The other) |

I'd tend to trust the same round out to 75 yards with a mule deer, although I have no experience with muleys. Not a lot of long range shots here in New England. But I have taken a few white tails out to 600+ yards in a large field with no/steady wind. But for those, I'm ranging with a laser, using ballistic tables, and shooting this: http://tinyurl.com/2qd3kb Those Savage 10FPs are sumthin', ain't they? :~) Yours is .308, I take it. |
