22 creedmoor deer

[Central FL Mike]

Finally got to try 22 creedmoor on a deer. Well my boy gave me the puppdog eyes, and said can I shoot dad (how do you say no). His longest shot yet 178 yards. 85.5 grain Berger hybrid. Speed unknown as I loaded into new Peterson brass and had to back load down 3 grains to get a smooth opening bolt. Was at 3300 with hornady brass. She only made it 50 yards after the shot. And his first heart shot. Bullet entered and started expanding under hide about a nickel sized hole inside rib cage. Quarter sized at heart, 50 cent piece leaving heart, golf ball exiting rib cage and tennis ball smashing leg bone exiting.

Nice shooting from the young hunter! It seems the Berger did its job also.

I've killed a ton of deer with a 22-250 and the cheapo Winchester box of 40 soft points
