Jaw3,
I believe your 90 gr. charge is right were you ought to be. Economical, accurate and deadly,
tell us about your deer and hog, how did you hit them (where, and what angle), and how far did they threy travel if they moved at all, and was there a blood trail?
Nice Photo, of course I am prejudiced, I have the mold to make the same Boolit and believe in them a lot. I love the cut hair on the hide
. That deer must have been DRT?
Screwbolts,
When I first got the in-line I thought wow up to 150 gr. Now I know don't need no stinking 150 gr.
As you can see deer was broad side, with head down feeding. It's was 60 yds range finder reading and
the spine was hit so it was a bang with no flop. It was Dead Right There.
I went to a South FL outfitter for the hog. Ladder stand near a feeder. I had taken a few range finder readings. Saw a bigg sow at 200 yds but didn't want a shot so far. Wind was not in my favor so some piggies winded me. The one I took came from another direction at 85 yds he turned to retreat and hit
him broadside slight angle so 330gr went in behind left shoulder and exited thru right. It was close to dark
so I waited for guide and his light. No blood trail, but saw the front leg was dragging. Hog went about 20 yds, from the field to just into the palmettos. On saw a few drops of blood just before it laid down.
Guide had explained don't expect a deer type blood trail, hog fat and meat will plug up the hole(s) When
he raised back at the gutting rack the pressure change popped the plug.
