I've officially kicked off my September hunting season. This long tined bull fell victim to my 300 WM firing 215 Bergers. The 215 entered, did it's work and came to a rest just under the hide on the opposite side. Flawless performance!

Sorry gents. I've been out at camp wrapping up this year's moose hunt. This bull was standing on a river island 280 yards away when I placed a 215 in the crease behind his shoulder. The bull took a few steps in an attempt to keep up with some other smaller bulls in his bachelor herd, but he fell a few short feet from where he was hit.

I load the 215 at .050" off the lands in Norma brass with a Fed 215M primer. My charge weight is 78.9 grains of H1000 and I'm pushing 2955 fps from a 26" barrel.

The VX6HD is a legit optic so far. It tracks great and returns to zero perfectly. The optics are clear and bright and it's nearly 10 oz lighter than the Nightforce I had on this rifle. Time will tell if it's as durable as the Nightforce, but my first impressions are positive.

The .300WM with proper bullets will never put you on shame! It's a killer. And I'm really growing fond of the VX6, but I missed the HD for just a few months...
