My 9yo really earned this one. She has been studying up on deer anatomy and has showed awesome discipline behind the trigger. After sitting patently behind the rifle on a red at 95 yards for over...

Centre shoulder shot. Off hand at 80 yards. 80grn Targex drove right through into the off shoulder. I only found shards of copper. Ran a few yards, reared up, and died. 209413

162eldm out of a tikka at 2770fps, truth is it probably has more killing power than the prc.

Good stuff, last few days a mate shot a decent sized Sika hind at 700 with the 6.4prc/147eldm and smoked it with an impressive exit wound. Tuesday, I watched another mate with a 6.5x55 put a 143eldx...
