Hi Pete,
Hilar zone, base of neck / front of shoulder. Last deer was a 2yr old hind at 50m, SST blew about a 30mm exit wound. Dead by the time I walked the 50m. I'd happily lung shoot too, if thats all that was on offer.

@Gibo I think that pictures the correct way up? Must be 9.something kg.....

Sounds good mate, at 50m I can imagine it making a decent hole. The Hilar zone is exactly the shot placement where my son has been practicing on goats but like I say we haven't shot a deer yet with that load. He shot a decent sized Billy at around 200m and dropped him on the spot.

For the people by the people at the people, the Don might grab that line

I have a longer carbon wrapped barrel and mine is 3.2 with supp, sling and scope so not far off that.
