Planning on cast for MO deer next week

[TCLouis]

Of course taking coated bullet rifle too.
MAYBE I can finally get one to show up when I have cast boolit in the gun.
Of course half the time it will be coated bullet in the 6.5.

NO not Creedmoor, 6.5X257.

Mo opener tomorrow calling for heavy rain and wind. So I'm gonna take my 22-250 but when weather clears the 375 win is coming out with Lyman 375449

So far, it's not raining in central MO. I imagine it'll start pretty hard once I hit the woods.

I have wondered about cast in 6.5 for deer hunting. I'm sure I could do it cleanly under the conditions I normally hunt, but that's getting pretty small bore and I'd want to work up a load and test it thoroughly. Smallest I've used is 7mm.

Seems like you'd want a real heavy for caliber bullet and cast it with soft noses.

good luck in hunting
I am going to take my Marlin Guide gun
in 45-70 and use a 440 gr Hoch nose poured
coated boolit and my Super Grade in 30-06 for the long range work

Want to know how your hunts turn out. I use to hunt in Wayne CO. near Greenville. I really miss those days.
I must now live thru the hunts you do. Full details and pictures. Raining here already looks as if tomorrow will be a better day here in MO, might be some wind.

Just like I said, right as soon I closed the truck door it started pouring. I'm back at the house now drying all my gear. Hoping to go back out later today, if not there's tomorrow.

White Eagle, I thought about using my GG with an MP grain FP but decided to go with the 6.5CM instead. Quite the difference between the two.

Sitting out right now (mo public land gotta stick it out for any chance)
Rain has stopped for the most part, hopefully i get a chance to use my 45 70 385 grain powder coated cast bullet.
Good luck to the other hunters and be safe

I killed one buck with the 6.5 Swede. Distance around 40 yards. Made a 4" X in the liver, silver dollar size hole through a lung. It acted like it didn't even know it had been shot, continued eating and wandered maybe 20 yards before going down.
160 gr. bullet, around 1650 fps.

I've killed my biggest bucks, mid day in rain. Several I killed in their beds. They hunker down a bit for the weather, and the rain keeps odor and noise hidden.

good luck!

i'll be out with the ruger and cast as detailed in last year's buck harvest.

I need to get back out there. I'm hunting public land also in central Missouri. When I came back in, I was soaked to the skin.Whenever I think about heading out again here comes a deluge. I guess I'm more of a fair weather hunter. ��

hey, i resemble that remark!

i hunt from blinds, as equipped/cozy as possible.


i'm blessed to hunt only on my land so i can 'setup shop' and leave it there.
just sweep out once a month during pmcs and i'm good to go.

OK, Guys How is it going in Missouri?

[19112TAP]

I'm hunting with my Ruger 77/357 with a full load of AA#9 behind a Ranch dog TLC359-175 RF. Movement is slow but have seen a few and filled one of my antlerless tags on Sunday and looking forward to getting back out this week end and find a buck to harvest.

Good luck to all that are hunting this season.
