Default 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.
