6.8 Western

Post by shootnmiss »

I made a post good while back about one I bought my boy. He don't get to go much anymore but he did pull the trigger on a doe this year with it. He's shooting the 175 grain tipped SGKs out of it. Shot was 200 yards. Ribs were shattered 6-8" from the exit. It's a killer. I was impressed. Here's the exit.

I have a friend that is making a long range match rifle in this caliber. I hear it's a heck of a distance shooter too.

It did the job for sure.
In the end it is up to the man what he becomes, and none of those other things matter. In horses, dogs and men it is character that counts. Louis L'Amour in his novel, Chancy

That there is what we refer to as a Gob Hole!! Probably not much of a tracking job on that one.
