200 yard mule deer buck. 6.5-300 weatherby 140 grain nosler accubond at 3250 fps. This is the entrance. Heart destroyed,lungs were soup and bullet never did exit nor did I find any fragment. Deer traveled 40 yards and succumbed.
This is a group from my 300 weatherby with 200 grain nosler partitions moving 3040 fps. I feel conf that this can handle anything in North America , but my back up is a 338 rum shooting 225 accubond at 3100 fps.
So the better half has harvested two bighorn sheep,first was a ewe shot was 186 yards slightly quarter towards . 30-06 with 180 partition, sheep dead right there. Second was a juvenile ram shot was 268 yards quarter away 6.5-300 weatherby with a 140 grain accubond. Sheep went sick instantly...
I have two 338 rums. Both are shooters if I do my part. I have no experience with the lapua and don’t have any plans for it. Hands down this caliber flattens elk at ranges far and near. 1 rifle shoots 225 accubond at 3050 fps, other prefers 210 partition at 3150. first load is 92 7828 others...
