kill with the beowulf

[Lloyd Smale]

shot an 8 pointer that weighted about 150 with my beo. First thing ive killed with it. The wife killed a asian water buffalo that went about 1500 lbs with it using punch bullets but i had never hunted with it. I was using renieer 300 grain hps. Shot the deer in the shoulder (only shot i could get through the brush) at about 50 yards. That hp broke the shoulder and exited right behind the oposite shoulder but the bullet came unglued. It was a mess. Both shoulder shot to heck and the whole rib cage on the oposite side was a black mess. Found little chunks of jacket everwhere. If theres a next time it wont be with the hp but was thinking about how devistating it would be in a self defense situation.

Congrats on the kill. I would hate to get shot with it. Sounds nasty very nasty. Sounds like a good self defense round.

Loyd you know that fifty is screaming out for cast boolits.

[tomme boy]

Shoot them in the lungs. You don't get the damaged meat like the other shot do.

[Lloyd Smale]

no doubt would have reduced it but it was the only shot i had through the trees. Id guess by looking even a lung shot would destroy substaintial meat with that bullet. Cast just doesnt do near as a well for accuracy out of my gun. Actually the best shooting bullet is the reineer solid flat nose. that bullet shoots under an inch at a 100 yards in my ar. Its probably what ill stick to for now on.

Deer got hit with a Mack Truck. Congrads on the deer, sorry for the loss of meat. When I shot jacketed I was always a hollowpoint guy for hunting, then switched to soft points to save doing what you did.

[nekshot]

forgive my ignorance but what is this cartridge all about? I see its name but very little talk about it. Congrats on the harvest!

[tomme boy]

They are a good car stopper with the solid brass spire point. They will destroy any motor and stop a car/truck or whatever. They are a mini 50 bmg in a standard AR platform. Thats what they are about

[Lloyd Smale]

actually very similar in power to a 4570 or 444 see a lot of those used for deer hunting so why not the beo. Granted I wouldn't use a hp anymore but maybe again with the renieer flat point solid.

I'm using a 325 TC boolits to hunt whitetails and pigs with. It really does the trick and doesn't tear up the meat. I tried John Ross's Alley Sweeper last year, but it was like a hand-grenade going off inside of whatever you shot with it.

[nekshot]

must you buy the brass or make it from something else?

[bbailey7821]

Yup, you gotta buy it. It's a little pricey, but seems to be holding up well. I'm on 3 or 4 reloads with mine.

[Lloyd Smale]

ya my gun actually shoots that bullet better the hp and its probably what ill stick to from now on
