How do you like that bullet? And how fast were you shooting them?
So far I like it. Been shooting 69 tmk for a while and I think this may be a new favorite if it is consistent on a few more outings. I am running 3620fps on an 18" 22cm 2 dogs you couldn't tell where they were hit till you rolled them around and found a little blood

Oh that sounds excellent "3620fps on an 18in". Nice and short for climbing thru awful stuff!

With that load... what would you consider to be the Max range you'd attempt a shot at something like a Muley? (Say 140-200Lbs range)

Man, I don't know on a mulie. Rite now I would have no problem with a 69 tmk to 400, depending on how accurate you can place the bullet I would guess similar, but I have zero experience with this on something large. If you could crease shoot it I would guess 400. Guessing

If I was to be using for deer I would probably go 75+ grains for any distance, if 200 and in than no question with 62.

She and another were coming in on a string until they got wind of me. As they retreated, one of them stopped and sat down, I guess it was contemplating leaving the dying rabbit that it heard. She was about 250 yards out, so I held a couple inches high on her shoulder and touched off a shot. She ran about 50 yards and piled up.

Been a tough month for me here in Wisconsin! Made 2 stands tonight and finally broke the ice with a female. Came in after 45 minutes, was about to call it quits and the pair finally came in after playing some challenge and pup distress. Got the first one and couldn't get on the second one before it hit the woods. Better than another blank stand!!!

A little different type of predator from a few weeks back. This guy was decimating the catfish at a pond I’d stocked for the kids. Found 5 catfish skulls in about a 30 yard stretch. Pelt measured 4’8” and is on its way to the tannery. The suppressed 17hmr with the thermal is always fun to shoot.
