Thread: The mighty Sako 243 does it again

Enjoyed that!

What bullet are you using in your .243? There was a lot of blood from the first shot, where did you hit him and was the blood coming from his nose or from the wound?

@Flyblown I was using Federal Fusion 95gr rounds for this one. That first shot went low in the front right shoulder and into the lower chest. I never found the entry point but soon found the smashed lower leg. He was quartering towards me when I fired and was sure I aimed higher for the neck shoulder junction which should have dropped him. My guess is it either deflected off the scrub in the way or I made an error in my shot placement. I knew straight after the shot I should have been a touch more patient and let him come closer but none the less I was very happy to get him!
