Thread: The 338 Dcm VS sika deer at 800 yards

Good stuff Cam can't wait two see her out on some proper deer down here

Hard to see that one. Had to look for the bullet trail. Fun recovery too I bet

I was looking at something close to the middle thinking that was the deer haha

Not the best video but you get the picture. Only being 800 Yards the tack driving DCM made a clean kill a walk in the park. Cheers Kiwi Greg for building this beast of a rifle!!!

Recovery only took about 6 hours, two twisted ankles and a shitload of bush bashing

Shot. Hard case deer seem to like the same old spots.

I will have to get Seans glasses I couldn't see it.

Found it but you can go pick the bugger up I'm not walking all the way over there Nice shot

What sort of impact velocity at that range out of that big momma?

cool, had to watch the flight path to find the deer only the one, moving diagonally up and right ?

i spend most weekends watching vapour trails at those kinds of distances, yours is a hell of a lot flatter than 308

good effort on recovering that deer !

Just under 2700fps so about twice the energy of a .308 point blank

Half the fun with long range hunting is the retrieve! I won't be rushing out to shoot across that gully again though haha.

good stuff
