.308 Secret Sauce??? (Loading Question)
firstcoueswas80 replied to Stallone A.'s topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
Thanks Coues Sniper, Yes I have great groups with the A-Max Bullets however last season my son shot his bull elk with it. He dropped the elk in its tracks, he was flopping around for a couple of minutes so we got closer to put another round in him and he just got his footing and took off. Very Little blood (4 drops) and to make a long story short we could never find him. I feel if we had a better bullet like a Berger or ELD-X the initial devastation would have been greater and we would have never lost that bull. I have shot many Coues Deer with the A-max with no problems but an Elk is a lot bigger. I just never want to have that happen again...That sounds like a shot placement issue, not a bullet issue. Yes I agree maybe 2 or 3 inches lower and we would have never had that problem. It was my sons first big game hunt at 12 yrs old, He probably caught him in the back strap and stunned him for a while. However there are better hunting rounds than the A-Max and every little bit counts. All he needed was 2 extra seconds... dang, that's a bummer! Sorry to hear that for your boy. Did your son dust himself off and get back in the game? -
I use my Vantage West card, payment posted and cleared yesterday.

I agree. Man they can get up and down the floor. That joshua Jackson kid is the best player I've seen in the tournament, at least his game yesterday was.

After watching the game yesterday, Kansas is looking really good.

In 2014, when I drew my archery tag, I decided to check when I got home from work. I dont recall the exact time, but it was after 4am and before 5, and the charge was there. Big mistake. Sleep did not come easily!

In my experience, barnes have always worked better going towards a larger jump. -
