Just aim for lungs on smaller deer. I’ve found the younger animals can take a few steps while full body reds have all been bang flops when targeting high shoulders.
162s leave an impressive blood trail so who cares if they run.

This is my shortened Remington 700 in 7mm08, good little kaimai killer. I'm moving to a town under the ruahines soon though so might need to get something that pushes a 7mm pill abit further.
Just ream it to 284winQuote:

Model 7 just works again.
We run 110 TTSX in our Tikka 7-08's with 20" barrel, 3400 fps, pretty aggressive up close, have used out past 300 to great effect, no recoil, no lead, good times :)
