[Jakal]

This thread fit the best for my post, not trying to hi-jack the thread. It's more about the load development and the results with a short barrel.

Gun:

12.5 Lilja Barrel + Heartbreaker Comp
Geissele SSAE trigger
LaRue Mount
Ziess 3-9x50 Conquest
Seekins lightweight rail
Seekins Billet upper
Seekins Low-profile adjustable gas block
The Jack billet lower by Spikes
Thordsen MFA Saddle cheek assist
BCG Gunfighter Mod4 Charging handle
CrossTac sling
Houge Overmolded Pistol grip

The Load:

129grain Nosler AccuBond Long Range
27.0 grains of XBR8208
CCI450
Hornady case
COAL: 2.26
2160 fps

The Results:

2 big Does in 2 days, only pics of first doe as second doe was a repeat of first doe, only difference; exit wound on second deer blew out its other shoulder and still exited.

150 yards from stand
slight 1/4 towards me shot
went in under right front armpit, blew out a rib, made a mess of everything inside
exit mid section before diaphragm after blowing out another rib.
exit hole about 1-1/2 inches wide
she ran on pure adrenaline maybe 50 yards, crashed and piled up.







Pros; Everything about this gun is great, small profile, lightweight, very accurate and the load is devastating.

****Thanks LRRPF52 for the heads up on the 129 Nosler!, haven't had a coyote come thru yet but can imagine they won't get far with this!*****

Cons: Need hunting hearing protection for left ear as the "EAR-SLAP" is pretty bad. Had enough time to insert a formable ear plug before the shots.
