The Official Shuff's Parkerizing Mini-G 2012 Wyoming Mule Deer Hunt

[timshufflin]

Here it is, if you are offended by blood, animals being killed, cigar smoking, profanity (I don't think there is any but just in case), beer drinking, and childish fun, don't watch.

The Shuff's "G Team" was sponsored in part by Eric J Moore Law Offices of Northfield Ohio. Thank you Mr. Moore!

Weapon used is an Open Sights Shuff's M14 Magazine Fed Mini-G with the following extras/accoutrements;

BM59 butt pad from Standard Parts (SP)
BM59 side swivel stock ferule from SP
.308 barrel from SP
BM59 gas cylinder from SP
BM59 muzzle brake from SP
10 round magazine from CheckMate
Nosler Partition 150 grain Ammunition from Buzzy. Edit, Nosler ballistic tip hunting.
Dupage Stock that was modified to take the BM59 butt pad by Sean Angott, he also put in the finger grooves
I am not afraid at all to deer hunt using this weapon out to 160 yards and after prairie dog hunting with one, maybe out to 350 yards.
This rifle is small and easy to handle but the best thing about it is that it can put out follow up shots like you can't believe. The muzzle brake all but wipes out muzzle flip and if you have a marginal shot, you can follow up very very fast. The shot on this deer was simple, only between 60 and 70 yards, so I didn't get to push it but it did make for good video.

In the video we have myself shooting, my friend Dan on video, and some photo's with both of us and Sean. You see Sean and myself with Dan and his deer because, well, we kind of earned it LOL :) It was a long long track and an unbelievable story.

That was one hell of a shot man, nice work. That is a beautiful G too, I like the finger groove stock.

Nice Video!! My first question is though?? Who is the gay guy in the orange hat in the being of the video??? Peace toolman

Thats a very well made video. I really prefer the voice overdub used, instead of the stupid whispering you here on all the TV hunting show.

Also, so much for those who say Partitions have trouble expanding on thin skin game! Question - how many yards away, and any idea what the FPS on that 308 load was?

[buckshot85]

very nice video Tim. Congrats.

[timshufflin]

I was wrong on the rounds being partitions, they are ballistic tip hunting.

Another note, I cycled these rounds in THIS rifle many times by hand to see how the polymer tips held up, they didn't so much as get a ding.

[buckshot85]

In your opinion, would you suspect that a normal Garand clip would be about the same?

If using 30/06 or using a .308 with a spacer block, probably.

[buckshot85]

30-06 enbloc is what I was wondering about. Have thought about ballistic tip bullets and had guys tell me they won't work and have not tried them for myself. I may just give it whirl.

I would give it a whirl in a minute.

Great video, Tim.:)

[Sea3006]

I've shot ballistic tips & Accubonds in '06 Garand at max COL with no problem. Great long range hunting bullets. Lots of internet chatter about how the ballistic tips have trouble expanding .... but Tim's video says otherwise.

[cuppednlocked]

I've personally never had an issue with ballistic tips. They have always done the job. They are all I use in my main deer rifle.

Good shot and good video! Far better than I've seen on TV lately and gives more confidence (not that it's needed!) in the Mini-G platform.

Nice video! Thanks for sharing!
