    Did a bit of pest control for a friend this weekend and took two reds, a massive red hind at 250, and her yearling at 120. One shot each with a Sierra 85gr HPBT doing 2800fps at the muzzle. Brilliant performance from the wee cartridge. First shot at 250 was low lung/heart shot, full expansion with fragments left under the skin on the offside. Second shot at 120 was mid lung, and the bullet exited after leaving 1.5” hole through the lungs.
