SBE Joe Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 To any one who shoots the Super black eagle. Last month I posted on here asking for help on a good slug for my SBE. I tried the Platinum Tip from Winchester. On paper they shot like a dream 2-inch group a 50yrds and only a 1-inch drop at 100yds. When in the field I was impressed even more. I shot two nice size does last week while making a drive. The first deer was running full bore at 60 yards and was hit just under the spine and In the guts, any other bullet or arrow would have resulted in a wounded deer and require tracking. This deer fell right in its tracks and died in seconds. I guess from the pure shock of the bullet??? The second deer stopped at 70 yards and gave me a broad side shot right through the heart, this deer took 2 steps and dropped dead. I have killed hundreds of deer (13 this year) and have never witnessed devastation like these bullets deliver. Thanks for the advice on using these bullets.

Butch-M Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 Every deer I took with the Platinum Tips was a one shot kill. The bullet performs as advertised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudhen Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 Ditto. One shot kill on a small Iowa buck this past season. 94 yards, iron sights, dropped pretty much dead. It was the only slug I found to be accurate for me. mudhen - CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
