    That one went down nicely with the A- Max. Good range not to extreme.

    Hey Pop Shot, they're not screaming. 2770 out of a 22 inch barrell.

    A nice lightweight medium range set up. I'm loving the VX6 scope...

    Good stuff.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    @craigc - that's pretty decent speeds though given the barrel length. Do you still aim through the shoulder or do you intentionally aim a little higher? I saw @stug mention he prefers a higher shoulder shot. Thoughts / experiences...

    That deer was actually hit lowish and due to the angle of its body the projectile came out the neck - hence the instant knock down!
    I just aimed for the middle of the shoulder, like I usually do! They usually fall over...

    Yep middle of shoulder is where I aim. The spine is lower through the chest than what most people think. The projectile doesn't usually hit the spine but seems to shock it enough to drop the deer on the spot.

    Good work. I'm taking my 7mm rem mag out this weekend to amax something at 3000fps!
    The saying " Amaxed " came about ten years ago. My go to gun was the 7mmrum and 7mmsaum's was you guessed it
    A 7mmsaum and nothing was safe.
