Hunting two

We met Kyle
and his wife while they
were on a bow hunt with
Wayne Rudman in the
Uitenhage district in the
Eastern Cape (SA). With
one day to go, Kyle had
not yet bagged his black
wildebeest. Wayne asked
him if he would be happy
to take it with a rifle.
This was ok with him and,
early on the Friday
morning, they drove to
our workshop with Wayne's
300 Win Mag. We developed
a load with our 150gr HV
for him. A couple of
hours later, he had his
black wildebeest and the
trip was complete.
Kyle also took some 120gr 7mm HVs with him for his 280AI Encore rifle. He describes his experience with these bullets below . |
Shot was only 325yds. Encore VVGC 280AI shooting GS Custom bullets. Looking over a wheatfield Wednesday evening. He came in...not chasing doe but interested in eating. One shot through the lungs and two steps later, he was down. Grossed 158"BC. Not sure what he will net but it should be on the 150's. |

Here is a target from my Encore barrel. It is an HV 120gr bullet. So far, bullet performance is tremendous. 2 hogs...250lbs and 220lbs dropped in their tracks with complete pass throughs on both. Wound channel is weird...lots of clotted blood and organ damage but meat damage has been minimal. |
