Finally used the 300 blk for something.

I never really intended to get one as I have lots of stuff that’s more suitable for things I do but built one anyway, after I was done with R&D on a machine I built to convert brass for the caliber.

So I haven’t done much with it over the last 4 or 5 years but was out at the farm this weekend and didn’t have a chance to confirm zero on the rifle I was intending to use for hog killing and came across a rather large group of hogs while trying to setup for the nights hunt, normally don’t see them out midday. Anyhow, I went back and picked up a buddy and the 300, we spilt up and he got a nice sow and I got dinner. Ok, maybe just an appetizer.

Amazing how good they taste when all they’ve had to eat is milk.

What round are you using? I dropped a doe early in the season with the new Hornady sub-x from my Ruger 300 ranch.

It was a 125 grain BT with H110, supersonic but a .22lr would have done it, if hit in the right spot.

It was a “lucky shot” by my standards but more than enough “gun” for the job.

Good job!

Ha, good shooting!

Of course, we would expect nothing else from you!

Would love to visit you sometime to see your "creations" at work!

Good job on the little tasty piggy!

I saw a 50 Blackout, 3 days ago.

I dropped a 150lb boar, like a sack of potatoes, with a 22 mag.
