What's the pill used - Barnes ?

Yeah, the river looked wicked and saw a few trout, was a bit more than I would have wanted to pay to fish though!!! Haha!

150gr Hornady GMX.

To be fair the first one zipped through the vitals and appeared not to have expanded, he didn’t go far and was lying about 20 yards from where he was hit but with his head still up, he stood up and started slowly walking away from us when we got down to him so finished the job with a raking shot which entered just in front of the left thigh and stopped under the skin on the far shoulder from about 30yards which is the bullet.

I might rethink the gmx for longer ranges as out of the .308 it doesn’t appear to have the velocity to reliably expand and could have been a long track.
He would have expired shortly after but was good to finish him off quickly although it did make a bit of a mess inside.

Better than a lost deer!
