Those 130 grain barnes in a 308 are amazing for what 99%of us do in alabama
Yes they are. I’ve killed quite a few deer in Alabama with them and whitetail and Axis in Texas. Several hogs and deer here at home. Same results. If they ran it wasn’t far and blood everywhere. Most dropped right there.


It's hard to kiss the lips at night that chews your a$$ all day long.
