Hey all, a couple of pics of a Sierra 125gr Pro Hunter 308 projectile (entry/exit wounds as well)
Projectile found under skin on offside on a young fallow buck, shot at about 130m.
Approx. 17mm across and retained 119gr, cleaned projectile fairly well to get a accurate weight.
Well impressed with performance.

it stopped in a yearing!!!!!! wow....surely left all its energy where it did most good.....looks like a winner for the smaller stuff,thanks for taking time to share this...the 125grn speer TNTs wont exit a small wallaby...sure as shit puts them down in a hurry.
Was a year or 2 older than a yearling....also shoot another 2/3 year old buck at 200m ish, exited right thru with smaller exit wound.Quote:

Was shot by my son, using the 125grn at bottom end of powder range, so yes less recoil for the young ladQuote:

What speed you getting with the Sierra pro hunter?

I’ve been running factory American whitetail 150gr through my tikka t3x .308 and boy are they knocking everything over. Pretty keen to start reloading my own though to try bring cost of ammo down a bit.
