That is a great freezer filler. You would almost think that bullet was designed for the old 8x57. You can't ask for more than that. Congrats

What a variety of game!

The young meat caribou bull I got yesterday was taken with my new-to-me LH Browning X Bolt All Weather in 308 Win.
The ammo was Federal's 175 gr Terminal Ascent that is doing 2570 fps out of the 22" barrel.
The shot was double lung at 76 yards and completely passed though the animal. I have yet to recover a TA bullet from game (6 animals to date).
The bullet made a fine mess of the lungs and creased the top of the heart.
This is the first animal I have taken with a 308 Win in 37 years!
Susan and I will be using a 308 Win in Africa next year...for her black wildebeest and white blesbok, and my red lechwe and cape bushbuck.
I was looking to take a moose or black bear with it...so I guess I'll be packing the 7mm PRC tomorrow.

Nice buck
Female whitetail with self loaded 150gr AccuBond in 30-06. distance was 190m. Deer runs from the field to the forest about 100m after shooting. 1.st weekend of november we go to hunt whitetails with small driven dogs. I think Finland is only place where is that kind of whitetail hunt
I'm not sure if they still hunt whitetail deer with dogs , or not . North Carolina did allow this .

A grand buck. Congratulations. Indeed, a "blow-by-blow" would be appreciated.
