Kevin, do you call that bullet failure on that buck with the SGK? 35 yards out of a 300WM is pretty dang close, i do not know if any bullets would have opened up a whole heck of a lot from that distance and that speed with out hitting a bone or something. my buck this past year was shot with a 140 accubond out of my 270wsm at a range of 200 yards. thats still probably above 3,000 fps as my muzzle velocity is 3,250. the bullets hit bone and did a number on both shoulders. i dont fault the partition from your gun on that shot. it was a close shot and had probably to high of a velocity to really open up.

my second elk i shot was shot with a sierra game king from about 75 yards with a .308. the bullet was 165 grain and the shot went through the heart, making her to a back flip. we later found that bullet on the far side under the skin perfectly mushroomed with a very high weight retention. THE SHOT WAS ONLY 75YARDS!!!!! you cant ask for better performance than that. there was a fist sized whole in her heart and i still have the bullet to this day. i like the interbond, accubond alot but i shoot the accubond although i am thinking about the interbond for my 7mag.

that bear makes an awesome rug! it looks freakin sweet on Dougs wall! one of these days i will shoot me a bear!

i think i have the "most improved" wrapped up as long as i kill a buck!

mmmmmm i have a complaint.... scott adams cheated! that buck is still alive! thats not fair!

another vote for the Accubond, because of doug ( RedRabbit) i have loaded accubonds in my 7mag, 270wsm, 7 ultra, 30-06, and 270. they are very accurate and are suppposed to be top notch! they killed two coues bucks this year with no complaints! one from my dads 7RUM, and one from my 270wsm. i have only loaded interbonds one time, they grouped .75 through my 270wsm with a random powder, and random lenght... defientaly some potential!

i think i should win SOMETHING!!!!! id be willing to bet that buck is the smallest anyone even saw this past hunt! i mean thats gotta be worth something right??!?!

doug, why is there no score for my buck? i said he grossed out at about 11.... but no way to tell now! the skull got eaten by the dog that adopted us!

whoa there Christen! calm it down a notch buddy....

im surprised this took so long to get posted on here! i read about this yesterday! yeah it is too bad because now everyone is gonna think we are all unsafe!

i know everything that is needed to know about it.... its what dreams of made of and every man and woman at this site would give their favorite hunting rifle to shoot a buck like that!

man that non-typ on the right is awesome! i have never seen a non-typ buck! but if i ever did see one with tag and rifle in hand... i will be throwin some lead no matter how big or small!

thanks for the info! i sent them a email telling them what i think! we all need to speak up!

that tail is bigger than Ernest's and mine bucks put together!

Scott, how many feathers did we find when we were mearns hunting? had to be half a dozen or so.

Matt, did you not see littlebear in his pictures? he is about 150lbs! a bull would buck him off like nothing! hahah just given ya chit! Katy sent me those pictures and i was amazed! them are some big ole bulls! myself, i like going for the smaller, easier to pack out, better tasting spikes ( atleast thats what i claim)

ditto everyone else, looks like a good shot! if he was shot with a 300 RUM he would not be moving right now that is for sure! but yes he does look skinny and unhealthy, i give him another month if that!

fromt he picture... it seems the water was probably the kids pool in the front yard! lol jp., nice buck! way to go!

i dont know, i think i would let him walk... let him grow up and shoot him in a year or three

littlebear, your andy knolton right? i know your sister and Jacob (tyler) weiss.

Jack, i just noticed that and was about to ask how his head is not resting on that whole main beam. the more i look at it the faker it looks.

"missing a slam dunk shot and thought "how can you miss that? I could hit that every time" i went into my deer hunt thinking the same way... i would hear people bust out 3,4,5,6 shots and i would say to my dad, man they suck! i would have dropped that buck on the first shot! well, low and behold when my chance came to drop a buck in his track ( 200 yards, standin still broadside!) i CHOKED! i,eventually ( 9 shots, and 51 yards later to be exact) had my 3rd coues deer down! i blame it on the gun, the fact that putting a buck in the crosshairs made the gun mis-fire, but in all reality, just like in your case, it was probably 100% shooter error! like it has been said many times, thats why it is called hunting and not shooting!

JOSH I NEED A JOB!!!!!!!!!! I NEED TO GO HUNTING!!!! yeah that muley looks like he had some good potential! congrats on a great lion and a awesome wife!!! wow how lucky you are to have a wife who says you NEED a full mount! man thats sweet! congrats!

thats the biggest dang coues i have ever seen!

i second what doug says (RedRabbit) i say keep the gun and tune it how you like it, if that includes gettin it rebarrled that would be cheaper than getting a new gun. i have a 270wsm, 30-06 and 7mag. my 30-06 with 180 grainers kicks the hardest out of all of them but it is by far the lightest.
