Bullet was 140 Gr Berger VLD which should have been going about 1850 fps at 970 yds. I had scope dialed for 22 MOA above my 200 yd zero and 1.25 moa left windage for a 5 mph wind 30 degrees off my nose. Unfortunately the wind must have died on my first shot as it went to the left and busted up his right rear leg. He tried to run but couldn’t and turned around and I took another shot and he dropped his head. I took a 3rd shot and dropped him.

He had his right rear leg busted up and had 2 entrance wounds though the heart lung area on the left side. He was dead on the second shot but didn’t know it yet.

Thanks! That weight is pretty close to a 160gr boat-tail target round for the .30-06 or .308. Must have been s lot of oomph in the load, eh? Wish I could have seen that shot —
