    This stag and five others tonight didn’t know what hit them. This fella was solid. Just using 55gn hornady sp out of my 14.5 inch A-bolt. Longest shot tonight approx 180m.

    That stag looks in good nic. A tree eater I guess?

    Shot him in a tree block, but he’s living in the native and has winter crop paddocks a stones throw away. Was in very good condition

    Well that was fun. The 60 grain Hammer Hunters seem to work. Im pushing them at about 3100 fps with 2208. All around the 200 yards. 2 broadside chest shots, and one head on into chest. The head on one copped 2 'cos he was dallying around a bit. It will be interesting to see the damage when I break them down.
