Update to above - with a bit of help from Mark from MacKenzie Helicopters, we managed to recover my bull that spent a couple of cold nights in the snow. Bit of a old battle axe. 13.5" on one side with a fractured tip and 13" on the other side where the tip is completely gone. Nice character head.
Of note though is the recovered 175gr ELD-X. This shot was just over 700m and the projectile retained 77% of it's mass. Doing a deeper dive into the Kestrel, it appears that the 175gr ELD-X is still doing 1800fps at 1000m with this rifle. Happy days.
