An evening hunt to test drive the 270 WSM last night. No sooky attachments like mufflers or breaks. I don't recall feeling any recoil.
288 Yds. Dialed in 2moa. Federal Fusion factory.
Bullet pass through and big holes. Didn't take a step.
It was standing next to an opened up wallow.

Stunning @Tahr looks like we both had a great time last night.

Looks dead to me, miles too dead for a unsuppressed factory rifle...
Come on Bruce, your 243 would have done that 😉

If you look over top of the dogs head it looks like a stag is looking out at you?
Just standing under that whity wood:D
A WSM? And dialling MOA. Whatever next ?:)

So I persisted and my hunch (well, her hunch actually) was correct. I spotted the deer through my binos 300 yards away in a hole in the scrub, so she had no part in that part.
Then when I got over to the face I shot it on I couldn't for the life of me find the spot amongst the scrub, so I moved up higher and around a bit and asked her to find it. Funny enough, she scented me to within 15 yards of where it was but she couldn't actually find it. I actually did. Dunno what that was about. She was off in another direction rushing around with her nose in the air.
It was the 60th deer I have shot with her.

You are way behind the eight ball :) Checked it out last week. Mine's a Tika though. Yours looks like a 24" Rem?Quote:

Did you get my recent PM?
Yeah. More than likely I think. Maybe the chap who opened up the wallow.Quote:

When I have held up my end of the bargain on the first one, I will order another for it. :)Quote:

The Planes are normal, Air NZ goes up and down there 16 times a day.
The noise probably won't disturb the deer at all.
This time of year not much disturbs them except a good ole wiff of a stinky arse human that is. ;)
Cheers

Nice!
Seen a few today but not the big bugger.

have you got a new range finder you can focus through that one.
The big chap is another 2 km south west.
Were you tempted to take one for a bit of meat?
Very tempted Tahr. Same range finder Mucko. We heard some distant roars.
Do you know that there is a track that heads south when you first hit the top? It goes around a little knob and follows the main ridge parallel with the road south.Quote:
