That is very good shooting. Isn't it what we are striving for????? I mean precision shooting. Placing a shot like that in the field is harder than some would be willing to try. I know it is messy, but if a shot like that is possible, and you have the ability why not?
I get people mad at me for taking 500+ yd shots that have cleanly killed elk and deer. Just cause they can't compriehend a persons ability to make such a shot doen't make it immposible. Being able to shoot better and further than everyone else is a awesome feeling.
2012 Rifle Season opening weekend.
168 Berger Hunting VLD from a 7WSM at 3,019fps. The shot was 622 yards. The deer was quartering away when the bullet entered low behind the next to last rib. It went thru his stomach, liver, & lungs. There was no exit hole on the off side. I did find the rear half of the jacket and a small fragment of the core just beneath the hide on the opposite side. It looked like a small bomb went off inside his chest cavity. I knew he was hit good by watching the impact thru the scope. He only went about 40yds from where I shot him.
Who's going to be the first to update this for the 2013 season? I have been finding some of the powders I needed to get started loading so I hope to use some Berger's this year.
Aoudad meat is pretty good, its a little coarser grained meat kinda hard to compare it to anything but for the most part its very good. My Dad Killed a big ram last year in the morning. While getting it quartered up my dad cut out a back strap and tenderloin for the evening meal. That evening we had a whole chicken, deer sausage other odds and ends and the aoudad it took the guys at the table to warm up to but when it was all said and done there was no aoudad meat left over for later.
