286 yds to dinner

[DEPUTY]

Well i laser ranged a nice fat doe 286 yds

rested the  gun on the rail and touched off a barnes tmz flat base 290 grain  over 200 grains of pyrodex
and the rest is backstraps.............

 the flat base version is a much better shooter out of our guns over the boatail version.

0yds to recovery

By God, Deputy, you are doing some serious shooting with that Ultimate. Very impressive.

[DEPUTY]

I'am trying I really am.


I have a spot primed for a 400yd shot but no joy so far.

 the gun has really worked up well and is shooting much better than i thought it would with a lot of bullets and laods tried

07 ill work one up for 230 grains of powder and see what she does.................

   I never heard of a flat based version of the Barnes tmz. Where can they be purchased from and is it made in 250 gr. version?

[DEPUTY]

 no barnes made it for us to use in our ultimates its non production run... AS FAR AS I KNOW

I have had great luck with the 275gr XPB. It was developed for the 460 S/W. Flat base & good expansion.  You may want to give it a try. Do not know what it would do on top of that much powder though. I have shot it up to 130gr fffg.

Great shootin'....I have a dozen places for a 300yd+ shot but so far I haven't had the need to shoot that far (I like to be prepared but I guess I don't create long shots either).  It's more common in the late season....IF my wife will let me get away to fill my last tag!

[DEPUTY]

 i hear yah Andy,    thats al i have been getting  alot of of late  i do have one spot  ready  but only cause it out of the wind and it has a good  tower blind there with a soild rest/rail and bags
