Wolves

Well the 17 VLR is made off the 223 case and was designed By Todd Kindler he also makes the bullets I like his 30 gr BTs On a wolves I have not had one exit and the body is preaty much mush in side I shot one at about 30 yards and the bullet was aganist the hide on the other side.

The 224 Clark is based off the 257 Roberts with the same 30 degree schoulder as the VLR. It was made for shots over 400 yards the man that came up with this round Lived in CALF. and shot the open olive groves I use the sierra 224 80grMKBT if you hit anything under the 400 mark you need a dust buster to pick up the fur.

last on the list is my 6.5 X 300 WHM this is a thousand yard rifle and a very good friend who belongs to the PA 1000 yard club helped me put this togeather I use the 6.5 142gr sierra MKBT this is a great spot and shoot rifle from ridge to ridge.

All of the bullets do expand and depending on the range will tell if you will have holes the 224 80gr will leave a led splater on the fur as it enters and there is very little left of the bullet a few copper peaces in side the body not much exit to talk about unless it is only a few yards away and the same is true with the 6.5 X 300 execpt the range is different

I really don't want to get in to the Long Range is it right or wrong thing I put many hours in being able to make these shots and use the best equpment all of my scope's are nightforce NP1RR and I take time during my time off to go to places where i work and a use an old Wild Range finder this is WW2 range finder that goes out to 60,000 meaters and no i dont shoot that far here is where the Bradley comes in LOL LOL LOL

I also use a set of big eyes they are two spotting scopes put on to a special bracket so you end up with an 80mm OBJlens and 22 power wide angle eye peaces I have a pic of them if you would like I can E mail a pic of the set up well i am sure this will be like a book sorry about that Have a great weekend >>>
 
Please, Slayer, don't be sorry about writing a book. That would be a book many would love to read.

And don't be apologetic about the long shots. There are those who might attack you for it. I'm not one of them. The long shot is the most gratifying.

But you're right; it takes much work, practice and confidence to do it righteously. I don't do it (often) because I don't need to.

But, then, if I was better at spotting my game at long ranges, I might change my tune.
 
Slayer, I would be interested in learning more about your "Big Eyes".

I would imagine it might be tough stabilizing such a "binocular" enough to see out of it well. You must use a strong tripod.
 
Yes the tripod is strong but it is a normal camara tripod it works great and I sent you an E mail so you can see what they look like. Have a great saturday >>>
 
Coyote Slayer 1, really when a hunter takes the time to be familar with his hunting tools and practices on a regular basis,by all means take those long shots. I'll bet wolves donot give you to many second chances. On the subject of the 6.5x300 this may still be the ultimate longrange large predator caliber. In the 60's i spent time in the gunsmith's shop that helped develope the 6.5x300WWH. Mr. Hoyer was quite the character.My next door neighbor was a gun crank and got me addicted. Boy did that 6.5 smack groundhogs and deer.Some of the boys still use it for thier longrange deer hunting.
 
You sound like a member of the PA.1000 yard club and if you are do you know my Good friend Darryl he and his wife bouth shoot and he and her were on the board for the club many years.

Yes i really like the 6.5 and it is a super Moose,and Bear rifle also I had some real hard thinking to do when I had it made but after i got it I have not looked back once it has more than lived up to what it can do >>>
 
No i am not a member of the 1000yd club. The 6.5/300 started many a many a man into longranging here in PA. Glad to see someone else appreciates this wildcat.And puts it to such good use.
