any comments on performance of ramcat for use on plains game.shot 150 grain drt broadhead this week from dirtnap shot accurate like field tip at twenty yards with no wind .with crosswind at twenty yards was all over the place.broadhead did make sound like a bottle rocket before it lifts off as it went midway to target. definitely can hear the arrow coming when standing near target.
 
I've never shot Ramcats but I don't know why they wouldn't do just fine.

I am hunting plains game in August and will be using Slick Trick broadheads. The only concession I'm making to the larger bodied animals from my whitetail set-up is going from 100 grain to 125 grain broadheads and adding some 50 grain weights that screw into the back of my inserts. Brings my arrow weight up to 480gr and my FOC to 14.5%.
 
Have never shot Ramcat broadheads. cross wind will affect almost any broadhead. if you have enough fletching and helical to steer the broadhead, proper tuned bow will help. Forrest
 
Never shot ram cats. I'm still and always will be a G5 monotech fan. Best broadheads ever. Never had anything make it past 30 yards.
 
I've shot kudu, zebra(2), red lechwe, bushbuck, warthog and mountain reedbuck with Ramcats. Based on those experiences one gets large holes, deep penetration, significant bleeding and short blood trails when using 125 gr. Ramcats. I would add they are very sharp and have excellent flight characteristics as well. The blades do tend to do some bending during the process but it doesn't seem to decrease their effectiveness on the animal. I would suggest changing the blades every time you shoot them into an animal.

I like them!

Just wanted to say thanks for the excellent customer service. Ordered some 9.3x62 brass and the delivery was a little short. An email through your website Contact Us link was replied to the next day with the tracking info for the correction. Good pricing coupled with great customer service will see returning customers every time. Thanks again!

Made it to Augusta Georgia yesterday for a meeting, hunt bookings are looking good for 2026 and 2027, had a great time on our Alabama safari shot a rutting deer at 200 yards with 7mm PRC near Huntsville and then headed on to Butler Alabama and semi guided my first deer ever shot a very nice broken off 8 point with hunter there and spend a few days on 1100 acres hunting preserve awesome place!

I am righthanded, so not interested in the rifle, but I have a 375 RUM and 350 gr bullet loading data is very hard to come by. If you could reply with information regarding your loads I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you, Ray Boone, Leavenworth, WA

Hello - I was looking at your post from several years ago regarding the Winchester 300 H&H. Any chance you still have the lefty M70 300 H&H for sale?
Thank you, Mike
