    Got a couple with the Kimber.257 the other night.

    First one was 271 yards. The 115NBT passed through and broke both shoulders. Still made it 50 yards.
    It was close to dark so vid quality not very good.

    The second one was 315 yards (using IR). Shot a bit high and you can see the shots' bulge through the hinds back. It was off my knees so I 'suppose I can be excused. Never exited but wrecked off side shoulder. Dropped on spot.

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