Yes it was my 300 Win mag, shot the other day out to 350 yards and its all good. Just me need to take a bit more time when the heats on.

Bloody good stuff @Mooseman, it was worth the wait for the write up. Well done

Awesome. Now to go back and get that Red Stag

Fantastic story! Brings back good memories.

Thanks Jo nice to hear from you. Great weekend we had those big boys don't come that easy , usually.

a good way to finish the roar off mate well done

Ha ha Brian, what was it we were talking about the other day, big carries??! That's put a smile on my face on a Monday morning your story, well done, really really great photo with a look of deep satisfaction on your face.

Reckon you could weigh that 143 now for us Brian. Be interesting to see what is left. Looks good

Just weighted recovered projectile and it is 89.4 grs

That projectile traveled about 18-20 inches through hide, meat and bone . It went in a fraction low on the shoulder and angled out through the chest cavity to come to rest on the off side in front of the gut. It didn't puncture the gut bag. It started out at 2750 fps and at 40 meters was hitting at about 2680 fps. Like I have said before these ELD X bullets seem to work.

Thanks mate, good info there. Definitely a heavy bodied beast that one so that has held up well in my view.

Yep I have to agree on that one.

That's a wonderful head. And what a Beast of an animal!
@Mooseman what do you do with the meat? Just sausages and small goods?

Awesome. How long was the longest antler?
