Funny you say that about being hard to hold steady with the digital scope.
I have the same issue with my zulus 3-12 on my 7.62x39 bush hunting. Bloody hard to be steady on freehand shots!
I think the issue is actually input lag of the digital scope. We are trying to correct the reticle to the target but the reticle isnt actually in the position we are seeing due to the lag/delay of the device.

Haven't noticed that but haven't shot off hand with the digital much. That shot was with a thermal. Ive noticed though my heart pounding in my head, my eyes running and the gasping for breath

The thermal is also a digital and will have similar lag.

JL12,
The win 64 gn PowerPoint is manufactured as a deer bullet. Not high bc but has a solid following in the US. I’ve got a bag of them here for use this year. Seem to work well for you?

Life is good for Bella.

She has somewhere comfy for a nap, and Dad getting a snack ready for when she wakes up.

You do treat that dog very well Bruce.

My one loves hunting too, but it sure does cut into napping hours. Here's him waking briefly while we're glassing.

Hug him 10,000 times just for being him

Don't you worry. That boy has endless cuddles. He even snuggles up while we're glassing and gets a belly rub and a cuddle. He's our little champ.

What sort of damage are they doing at that distance?

@charliehorse I took a pic of the entry through the ribs with the shoulder peeled back. You can see a bit of lung through the rib entry by my finger. That shoulder was broken and ruined. It didn't show any particular sign of impact but I heard the whop. It staggered maybe 10 yards at the most and tipped over.

A good endorsement of the 74g Targex and placement of course

What sort of bullet is the Targex 74g?
