Very nice 2 shot group. Wait a minute, is 2 shots a group? Just kidding. The range I go to is only 100 yards. And I don't have anywhere to shoot any farther than that. I wish I did, I would love to see how a couple of my rifles would do at that range just for kicks. Where I hunt the maximum range I will have a shot on a deer will be around 100 yards.

I only took 12 shockwaves with me and I messed around a little at 100 and 150 so I only had 2 shots left when I went to 200. Plus I walked and checked after every shot . I must have walked a couple miles. I definitely will take the 4 wheeler or spotting scope next time. Although I needed the exercise

Oh well, I've quit after 2 shots before just so I wouldn't mess up a good 2 shot group.
By the way, what made you decide to shoot Shockwaves and not any one of the many other bullets you have?

The 200 gr had about 5 inches less drop than a 250 gr at that distance and shockwaves are the only 200 gr I have . The velocity was 1900 and still maintains over 900 ft pounds at 200 yards. So I figured I would test it

I would think that would be a great bullet for the antelope.
BTW obviously that gun shoots great Chet, but it also takes a pretty good nut behind the wheel to do that at 211 yards. I would have to practice a good while.

Hey Chet,
That is Awesome man. Great shooting for sure. Those SST'S are always pretty darn accurate.

BTW- One of the prototypes at Knight shot the 220grn Bloodlines, and 9 out of 10 bullets are touching at 200yards. You are exactly right, these guns are for real.

After today it almost makes me want to get a bench and lead sled so I can see what the gun can really do. But if I do that I would probably not be able to shoot good off sticks if I got use to a bench

Don't change what you are doing. I need to start doing alot more of what your doing. Fancy rest's and sand bags aren't in the woods while your hunting. Great job, and thanks for the education.

Yea where is the gun! After reading this thread i had to check out knights website. And, i must say this the new Mountaineer surly looks as good as it shoots! All summer i have been trying to locate the new Browning 12ga. A-Bolt slug gun. Its very hard to find a wood stocked one. But know i don't know, I am starting to lean towards a new mountaineer! decisions decisions!!!

ReDoT, I don't own a Mountaineer, but I did retire my slug gun almost 10 years ago and have had no regrets.
