Thread: 208 amax projectile recovered from red deer

Shot red deer at 620 yards. Velocity on impact was 2000fps.

Nice, any bone hit? where did it enter and come to rest?

Was hoping no one was going to ask that. Was front on shot, deer stepped forward down slip and bullet went over head and straight down spine found it next to ass. No back steaks off this one.

Did it touch a bit of " green" or passed over?
Good that you recovered the deer and the bullet any way.

Took half the day to recover. Waist deep river and had just snowed was pretty sweet.

Given the speed you walk mate it was probably only 300m away

Haha nah had quads mate

Great to recover a projectile like that

What Cartridge, twist rate, muzzle velocity ?

300wsm with a stupid short barrel

He has come across now brads wants my ammo now

What ever rem 700 cdl twist is for 300wsm 2800fps

Wow, I didn't think they held together that well. I wonder if the 162's hold together like that, I might try and recover some...

They're great projectiles, I've never experienced the 'blow up' that people speak of.

closest shot with these is 80 yards still kill sweet. Im gunna try the 162s now soon with rem mag.

I had a blow up on a fellow at 120y
Spine shot at top of shoulder
Took heaps of meat off but no peneration.
From my 7-375
