    Most will find this distasteful but here it is anyway. The 8mm is vicious as. Shot the mum baby just sat there so shot that too. Would have had a deer too if I didn't run out of ammo I reckon

    Should have shot the deer first Toby.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    You mean to tell me that you had time to go home and get a different rifle and the deer just hung around waiting and then you snuck up and scared it off? How did you miss with such an accurate rifle?

    233gr - 7.9 gr Trail Boss - 935 fps sounds like an air rifle.

    Velocity is thrilling,but diameter does the real killing.
