Thread: 223 on deer

So this isn't exactly one for the record books - let's just say it looked a lot bigger in the scope... 280m in the Ruahines in the weekend, 75 ELDM going just over 2700fps. A dodgy top-of-the-leatherwood rest sent the first shot a little far back, but the 2nd shot in the shoulder folded it up like a book. Strange to find an animal of this size around this time of year - guessing it's less than 6 months old. The meat all went to a mate who was tagging along - "the young ones taste the best" was my sales pitch.
