    @7mm Rem Mag where did you hit it?

    Good work.
    Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing, and right-doing, there is a field. I will meet you there.

    Good work.
    I aimed for the head, when I saw the blood around its mouth I thought maybe I had hit a lung but on inspection of the carcase there was absolutely no sign of a wound anywhere so a head shot it is.

    Ha ha I did think it could have died of a heart attack with the projectile of the mighty 223 passing close by

    Thanks @Tahr for helping me with the load for the 77gr TMK's, I think my load is 1 grain of powder less than yours from memory but still very accurate.
    When hunting think safety first
