Tahr, she was blessed to have you as her owner and you to have her as your hunting companion and buddy. You gave her a fantastic life.

I prefer heavy bullets but played with 110gr in 270 a bit and they certainly work, shot red hind in the neck at 130yds and it vapourized a decent sized portion of said deer, upset the space-time...
