finaly added a 3 point buck to my 2506 list of kills.
one shot at about 200ish maybe alittle less maybe alittle more. thank goodness for flat shooting. one shot dropped the buck to his knees right where he was standing. recoverd the 100gr nosler balistick tipp in an almost picture perfect mushroom just inside the hide on the far side.
i plan to take more deer with this combo. i also plan to try the 85gr 6mm hunting bullets in whatever 6mm i end up.
personaly i wasnt going to type another reply in this topick but i figured what the heck ive been exscited about the 2506's perfromance and wanted to talk it up just alittle more.
id also like to say that if you ask me what the perfect deer calibers is id tell you that i realy have no clue. just stay away from the loud boomer big magnum cased calibers and you will do great. and preferably keep the smallest caliber to 6mm and larger.
the first deer i ever shot was with my 270win at about 20yds deer was shot ounce in the shoulder blades. it was ugly but it did the job. took about 5 more after that with the same 270 from 100-further than 300. the caliber just plain works.
then so did the 2506.
i like playing with calibers that recoil less than the 270win. though not a ton of recoil with it it just doenst lend itself to alot of shooting. id better ad that i also have 3006 im playing with.
i just like to play and chances are i will never find that one caliber that stands out as single most perfect deer caliber out there.
but if i did pick the 270 ass my deer only rifle then that would be one good decision.
