It Boils Me To No End Regarding Wolves Numbers..

[Piperdown]

Spent a few days out goat hunting with my gal last weekend, was hard to concentrate on goats when there was fresh wolf sign on our tracks every day. It was obvious we needed to change our hunt plans a bit, a winter goat will have to come another day.

my gal making a 450 yard shot look easy. All I told her was, “you got 36” of bullet drop”, she did the rest.

Hey thank ya!

She was shooting my mountain rifle, a lightened up 6.5 swede in a T3. I’m not real familiar with many drops, except on the couple rifles I use. I shoot 140 gr accubonds, with a 19 1/2” barrel, my load uses 1 grain over max load (reloader 22).

I’m zeroed for 200 yards, does 36” seem like lots of drop for that distance? I really don’t know, I just know that’s where I hit with my set up consistently at 450.

Ok thanks for that i am no specialist on this, my rifle is an xbolt, 7mm rem mag, i shoot 150 gr barnes ttsx, zero 3 inches high at 100, 2.9 inches high at 200, approximately 1 inch low at 300, used barnes calculator for this when they had one you could use at it was spot on, for 400 i think it is 9 inches of drop, still hell of a shot and job well done

It does look like it. I was not going to say anything lol seen way too many threads go South lol....

I scrolled through it a lot on pause on my phone, I can’t see where you fellas see it? No hard feeling by me if it did hit snow, I just can’t see what your seeing.

I did have the spotter zoomed in a bit, so the bullet /vapour trail enters the screen from the bottom of the view. I was set up about 5’ higher just behind the shooter, not sure if that makes it look different? I can slow mo the bullet from when it enters the screen until it hits the wolf, the only snow I see is from his feet tipping over.

Not knocking the shot or anything dead wolf is all that matters. Like i said lets not concetrate on the shot it was great,and lets not make this thread about that...
