Chalk up doe 3 of gun season.

Related note, 350 legend continues to impress me. 130 yards and she made it 25 feet. Lungs were liquid.

Which upper is that? I keep looking at them.

Nice shot/deer!

CMMG upper https://cmmginc.com/product/upper-group-resolute-100-mk4-350-legend/

This is my third deer with it. First two literally dropped in their tracks without taking a step (I regret not taking a picture, the damage was tremendous). 100 yard zero and ballistic calculator says I can reach 176 yards without worrying about holdover.

Sweet rig. If I didn't already have a slug gun, I would have purchased one of those uppers by now. Still might...

Cheers!

Worth it. With my shoulder surgery last year I still can’t do a shotgun comfortably. Recoil on this is less than 556, 300AAC, and 6.5creed

Good to know! Thanks!

Lighter recoil than 556? That's surprising. I have a 16'' 350 upper that I haven't been able to try out yet, no ammo to be found.

I'm seeing tons of 350 ammo. J2 has some. Or try Zimmerman's archery shop, he had a bunch of boxes a week ago.

That is the consensus from several publications (something about increased expansion space in the barrel before the muzzle was the reasoning I read). I think it is a small difference because I can’t really notice any on 556 to be honest. It is notably less than my 65creed (still not a lot because recoil isn’t much on that either).

I have a box of FMJ WWB I’ll donate if your local to the mid shore. Nothing worse than a rifle and nothing to shoot. I roll my own, and with three deer in as many days on this rifle I’m comfortable with my zero. If you’re itching to hunt I can toss in a mag worth of 170gr soft points

Thanks for the offer, but I am all the way down in SOMD. I am in no great rush, and J2 might have some again.

350 legend is 8.52ft-lbs on a 7lb rifle for free recoil energy. .223 with a 62gr is 3.9ft-lbs with a 7lb rifle.

Pretty sure it is in your head or ergos that are tricking you in to thinking the recoil is less (it is double). It is less than 6.5CM

Forgot to snap a pic, but deer number four, another doe, dead in its tracks on the 350 Legend.

And Lazarus, you are correct on the numbers. I forget where I read the comparison (American Rifleman maybe?), but it stuck with me.

I took a nice doe last night. Could have had two but my hand slipped off of the bolt when I was racking it due to slippery gloves. When I slammed the bolt back it didn’t pick up another round. Guess it didn’t go all the way back like I thought it did.

In the photo she is propped up draining after the field dress.

Happens.

Or how about the one that got away thread!
Good buck right there. Somebody's gonna have a smile on their face if they grass this one.

2020 is the year I missed with a bow and this morning I had a bad shot with a ML at 75 yards first light. Not sure what happened and want to take it to range to check it out again. I think it hit its hind quarters as I saw it limping after it ran 120 yards to neighbors yard. I searched 4 of the 6 wooded acres of an adjacent property I got permission. To search and nothing.
No blood trail either.
I’m not much of a quitter so went into the stand with the trusty crossbow and took this yearling. Getting all the meat I can till new neighbor moves in.
It did not run far

Another deado. Some of them are showing up with busted horns-half racked already. This guy was pushing does around a food plot in front of one of the youngins last night.

Dayum! NICE!

I was supposed to go out this afternoon/evening with a buddy, but he ghosted on me and I didn't want to ground-hunt public alone during gun season.

Sooooooo many deer during the later part of shooting hours were all over the damned place when I was driving to pick up my son and get dinner. I should have gone.
