well I'm pleased to say my Sav 99 had a good weekend just gone.
Mates son got his first goat using a Hornady 158 gr xtp over trail boss 1450 fps, did not knock him around but buggered the goat.
That evening another mate put a 223 round into a red yearling/spiker at 180 mtr, shot went in just behind the foreleg and exited at the back of the ribs. he started to move off then stopped for a second so I put one through both shoulders. smashed things up including a shoulder joint sitting on the ground under him.
next morning 2 more at 160 mtr. this good eater and a large hind.
this is what the off side shoulder looked like after a 225gr gameking at 2450fps does it's thing.
still looks like they would be better suited to a heavier bodied animal than his yearling.
happy now its nailed it's first deer with the New 358 win truflite barrel.
lever guns rule I say.
