Flat tops & Fireballs

[KDX]

Excellent story and pics. I've never heard of Does being referred to as flat tops. We've always called them skin heads.

ONe inaccuracy- The 125 BT only made 5", not 6"

Explosive performance, and on thin skinned game should work well. But the FT Killa 45gr TSX went one inch further in wood

What, No pink too-too????

No, but your fingers do.

I would say that Clark is larger than that doe......entertaining little story TB.

Good story, good to hear you didn't stay in the same tent as your son.

I have a nice little combination gun, 12 ga over 222. It would be dandy for eastern white tails, but the 222 twist is only 1:14. What is the twist of your rifle? My 222 will handle the Sierrra 60gr HP, which i have yet to try in a deer. Looks like that Barnes would be a better choice, if it is not too long.

Does this make my .22-250 spitting 50 gr. x's a MAGNUM!

1:12 twist

Does this make my .22-250 spitting 50 gr. x's a MAGNUM!

What a touching story. Autum, BC, dad and son drive hundreds of kms to meet for the traditional flat top hunt. Isn't life grand?

Did the kid have his 375 Wooger in case a buck showed up?

 

[todbartell]

300 Whizzum, and he did pass on a buck. My son is a trophy hunter!

 

[Salty]

As are you dad, as are you. That's one killer flat top...

I load 1-14" twist .222 with either 50gr Rem HP /19gr RE-7 or 24gr/Win 748/55SP and no deer has ever made it more than a couple body lengths.[200 lb WT bucks included]with double lung hits.Three black bear as well..............range kept to 150 yards max. on purpose.........DOA..................Harold

Here ya go................

Might as well add a (written) joke into the thread here as it pertains...

Q: What's the only sensible response when your wife asks "Does this outfit make me look fat?"

A: "Do I look stupid?"


... maybe I will buy that 260 after all

 

[mackillan]

At least the pink outfit wasnt camoflage. One wouldnt want their furry codpiece shot off.

SHe was no yearling- she was the largest doe we had seen in the group of does and fawns...She is no 450 Lb big mulie buck, but she wasn't small..Just looks that way in the pics, since I can make a grizzly look small in pics!

I think a more accurate statement is that you make a grizzly look pretty.

(sorry just had to join in on the fun).

Great story TB
