    I had a choice of 3 animals. One of which I could only see the head neck and onside shoulder. The other a huge hind which i didnt fancy carring home. I have only really just begun dialling with my new to me Vortex viper hslr. I knew 200 yards was 2moa adjustment, so I dialled 2.5 as a guess. At 218 yards it turns out that is too high for the vitals. As I get more comfortable I'm now seeing that neck shots might be possible at this range with this calibre.
