Budd;I don’t think it’s the guns faultI !!its a powder /Bullet bad combination ,possibly a bullet designed to expand at higher velocities 100 FFF with 250 gr bulled should be around 2000 FPS Or maybe little faster What bullet ? I don’t think it was fast enough to expand

River Cane (Arundinaria gigantea), Switch Cane (Arundinaria tecta) and Hill Cane (Arundinaria appalachiana) all belong to the Poaceae, or Grass family of plants. Although they are referred to as “cane”, they are true bamboos closely related to those found in Asia and parts of South America. While there has been some confusion as to whether or not River Cane and Switch Cane are one and the same species, recent work has proven without a doubt that the genus Arundinaria includes three separate and distinct species, which together are the only temperate native species of bamboo found in the Northern Hemisphere.

It’s Bamboo !! not Phragmites there’s a native and a more aggressive invasive Asian But for sure bamboo this I think is the native It doesn’t get very tall ,or big . The invasive is big enough for fishing poles but google bambo eradication it’s a tough nut to crack I low that and established it spreads like wildfire through the roots

Will it survive a controlled burn (or come back)? Don't know, but my bet it will survive. yes fire slows it but no kill

I shot my second deer with mine yesterday both shots were pass through shots double lung and one lung neither went 100 yards no problems Like mentioned same bullet and ballistics as MZL I have the Leupold reticle scope haven’t dialed it in yet . I use same aim point for 25 to 150 yards 2 1/2 in diff not enough to worry about imo ..Recoil can’t say I haven’t noticed it so minimal at the best. Love it Rugar American Can’t beat it .

That’s what I figured would happen with the implimentation of HPR For a lot , not all , Deer Hunting is now Deer Shooting And a challenge not to get a deer but the challenge of the longest shot ! I got a HPR but mine apes my MZL a 450 Bushmaster Same bullet and velocities as my MZL but I don’t have to clean or worry about it all the time !!

That’s why I like the new safety feature on the Rugar American Your Finger has to depress a safety bar on trigger that your finger has to depress to be able to fire That would not have happened with the RA Hope he recovers compleatly

Let me chime in on the suspicion!! , And I can honestly say I can get along with most people and have been known to help if I can ! But point is “ Once Bitten Twice Shy “ I’ve been bit by friend on hunting places , Had a place I hunted one time and I would share with friends what I had seen or harvested during my hunts One Guy kept asking where it was any other people live close Cause I was only one on the place just me Well one day walking out I found a hat the bill was bent like no one but my “Buddy “ bent that way he found a place he could park and slipped in on my honey hole !! I threw the hat down a break table next day all he did was stutter That’s low Fishing holes are even worse.. I don’t give out or share many spots because of this type of behavior to any one I don’t know very well Your timing and request first post are naturally subject to suspicion to many So that’s my story and why when I saw your first post My first response was laughing and a big ole Yea Right So there you have it oh and that’s not the only time I’ve had people pull that trick Had people try to lease my spots too more than once Good luck in your search
