BB, the doe was taken with a SSK .325 WSM, Douglas barrel, 200 gr. Sierra Match HPBT. J.D. Jones gave me a bunch of these to test on animals. Light match bullets won't work on larger game-too fragile. This large bullet does fine on deer. I took 6 or so with it this year out past 200 yds. Exits are usually 2=3" with lungs hanging out the hole. It absolutely rips a groundhog apart. Best thing about these bullets are their accuracy. Mine gun shoots them in to 1/2" at 100. Not bad for that big a gun. This deer was taken around 175. Wizzard, the Quiet Gun is a SSK MkIII with integral suppressor. Aguila subsonic 38 gr. HPs took the crow at 48 yds. I took 66 groundhogs with the gun and mostly these bullets this year. Longest shot-94 yds. Not bad for subsonic .22s. Get about 75% one shot kills. This gun and CCI segmented HP subsonics is unbelievable on squirrels (no good on groundhogs).

Nice shot on that doe CS. I'm betting that she didn't go far if any at all with that slug and shot placement!

I got this buck saturday morning with my 209X50 TC Encore handgun. I'm using 100 grs. of Triple 7 powder and a 300 gr. 45 cal. saboted XTP. As you can see the gun likes it and the deer hate it.
