Mac Crider Hunting Deer with His 6.5 BRM Encore Rifle
Here is a deer I shot with my 6.5 BRM. I have killed three deer this
season, all with the 6.5. One dropped in its tracks, the other two did not
run over 20 yards! The 6.5 BRM is super sweet.I always like to shoot my deer in the chest. Bow hunters try to place shots a few inches behind the shoulder in order to puncture both lungs. I have found that they never run more than 30 yards. The first deer I killed with my 6.5 this year (I bought the gun at the end of last years deer season so I was not able to try it out then!) was shot real tight behind the shoulder. It dropped like a sack of stones! The other deer and the buck I sent you, were shot a little behind the shoulder. Both lungs were hit and they only ran a very few yards. I never had to track an animal!! I eat what I kill and most people around here consider the shoulder a waste. I use the shoulder as roast or grind them. I figure the more of the meat I can preserve the more in my freezer. It is that reasoning that steers me towards a double lung (chest shot). I have buddies that poke fun at me because I am not shooting a 7mag or at the very least, a 270! I call them every time I kill a deer and my opening comment is always "MY 6.5 DOES NOT PLAY!!!" Mr. Brown, I am very happy with the 6.5 BRM. The rifle yall put together is not only beautiful but functional! The deer were killed anywhere from 50 to 100 yards. I have every confidence that I can take deer out to 300 yards with a 200 yard zero. Where I live you won't ever get a shot much further than that. I love the rifle, it is fun to shoot, very accurate and I would be glad for you to use ANY comments I have made or any pictures I have sent in my correspondence with you! Thank you for your reply to my original email, I know you are busy! Sincerely, Mac Crider |
