    Brian and I went for a hunt last night (crawled into bed at 4am), and after firing just the 3 shots with the R26 and 130 Barnes LRX to test the load (as above) and coming down 3 clicks, I took the 270wsm.

    Right on dark at 9.15pm a spiker came out and I poll-axed it at exactly 400 yards. Hit high in the shoulder the LRX expanded well and exited. Lots of damage. Very impressed with the combination.

    Bullet entry (exit is too gory).
