Yep, I'm bored in my cubicle. And it's only Wednesday.
Anyone around here kill one with a 6.8mm SPC? It's actually a 7.0358mm (.277 inch same as 270 Winchester) projectile. My only rifle is an AR 15 type rifle. Muzzle velocity is ~2600 fps. Would you fire one into the ribe cage and see if it dropped, or would you tripple tap? I wouldn't want to wound one and have it get away.

If you are shooting tacks I'd go upper shoulder......break it down where it stands.
Yeah, it easily shoots <1" groups at 100 yards. But would you fire just one shot and wait and see if it drops (or three quick ones). I suppose I shouldn't even worry about it till I at least see one in the woods while stalking them in the woods this year...

Hit him once where it counts......if he gets back up, hit him again. I would be worried less about shots 2 & 3 and focus on the first....
Sounds legit. Thanks.
