oh.. haha i don't really do sport shooting i just like to have it in my house like a conversation starter or something.

hopefully never have to use it in its lifetime

is it legal to use that kind of firearm to hunt?

Depends on your state and what you're hunting

I couldn't answer that question, unfortunately

@ThatShadyVandal how about texas and deers

I'm not the one to ask. I don't live out there

I'm behind enemy lines in Commiefornia

Chances are it's gonna depend on your chambering and magazine capacity

> I'm behind enemy lines in Commiefornia
@ThatShadyVandal least you're not in chiraq

> Chances are it's gonna depend on your chambering and magazine capacity
@ThatShadyVandal alright haha

Best bet is to link up with some local hunters and have them square you away

Department of Fish and Game can help you there too

yeah maybe after i get the gun also when the virus lifts up

most states, it's not the gun but the type of ammunition that matters in deer hunting

no full metal jackets allowed

oh

wa2000 uses 300wm

get some hollow points, or other expanding bullets and you're fine in most states

thanks mate 🙂

i hear deer meat is delicious

it can be...

Hollow points might expand a bit too much, depending on the design

like everything, it's how you cook it

expansion is the point. they want a clean kill. fmj's can pass through without killing the deer

Expansion and clean kill?

yes. all the energy is dumped in the animal

A lot of expansion is going to cause a lot of tissue destruction. Good for putting the deer down but you ruin the meat

shot placement prevents ruining the meat....unless you wanted the ribs

True

i think it's possible to shoot the head instead?

head shots ruin the trophy you were going to hang on the wall 🙂

@jenises i'd like a head with a bullet hole in its center lols haha but yeah i get it.

with head shots, you often miss the target as deer are usually bobbing up and down while eating, or looking around for danger. the body stays relatively still

Plus it's a psysically smaller target even if it was stationary

yeah it'll be a great challenge.

Less meat wasted tho

Not gonna lie, I kinda wanna build a single shot shotgun from scratch

i try to get em in the neck. if you get a good shot and sever the spine then you dont have to look for it

just drops instantly

It doesn't kill it though right? It just paralyzes it... no?
