Not longrange by some standards but none the less a Berger kill.

If I have a tag leftover from firearms season I take the Lapua out to
shoot a doe during the antlerless portion.

The place I hunt I can set up on top of a hill and the deer come out between 250 and 600 yards(safely) into bean stubble. Wednesday afternoon I got all set up and waited to see if any doe were using the field. At 4:45 a single doe came out into the field, I ranged her and it was 478 yards. I entered the data into shooter on my phone, dialed the scope. I closed the bolt and sent the 300 grain Berger, after the the rifle recoiled I didn't see the deer in the field, so I got the binos out for a better look, she was laying in a small wash. I packed my stuff back to the truck and went to pick her up.

When I drove up to her there was something on her back.

After I was by the deer I ranged back to the shooting spot and it was 460 yards (I was ranging the timber not the deer). So I hit a little high and the bullet entered the deer expanded and upon exit the bullet appeared to suck the guts out of the exit hole. The deer never even twitched.

I should have taken more pictures, but here is the longest one of three does shot this last week. 401 yards. & RM shooting 168 gr hunting VLD's at 2875. Doe was DRT! Shot from the red tree by the bale yard. I meant to do a better job of documenting specifically for this purpose :rolleyes:

This is a good size doe for East Texas. This is the last weekend for antlerless and we are out of venison, so when she stepped out of the tree line it was time to go. 7RM pushing 168gr VLD Hunter, I would say that the bullet did its job. She did actually run about 25-30 yards before dropping which absolutely amazed me!

Well I got a few doe for the freezer this weekend with the 338 Norma. I videoed the hunt with my swaro spotter and phoneskope and of course she walked out of the view finder!

Anyways the shoulder shot was at 512 yards. 300 hybrids at 2810 fps and the head shot was 10 seconds later at 504 yards. Wind was 8 mph from 3' and half mil was dead nuts.

This really makes me want to get my Savage build started. It's a .243 right now but I'm pretty sure that I'm going to go .260 with a Shilen Barrel and push the 140 Bergers. Being from the woods of West GA, I have not hunted with a rifle in a few years as most of my shots were within bow range. I love bow hunting but I'm going to Fort Bliss by the 2015 Season and can see a lot of shots outside of bow range.
 
Big Berger hole! 230 Hybrid from a 300 RUM @ 200yrds - only fragments exited :D
