RE: How Did Your Gun Perform in the Field?
[quote]ORIGINAL: Krotalus
[quote]What caliber did you use? 7MM REM. MAG.
What bullet did you use? Remington Premeir Safari Grade, Swift A Frame dual core
How many grains was the bullet? 160
How far was the shot? 210 +
Where did you hit the deer? Lungs
How far did the deer run after it was shot? 0 +/- 1"
Roughly how big was the exit hole (if any)? Roughly the size of a quarter
How much did the deer weigh dressed (if you know that)? 185lbs field dressed
The reason for using the Safari Grade shells is simply because they come in a nickel plated case. The nickle plated shell casings prevent any corrosion and ensure smoothe ejections. Since I rarly shoot more then 5 shells a year I find this to be a benifit.
