    Oh fuk yea. At that range down hill shot I've never taken any ballistic measurements, just centre cross hairs click bang dead deer. Obviously not head shots but broadside it's a big target.

    Ive shot hares with .270 between 400-500yards downhill...much further than Ive shot at big game....its surprising how little a bullet drops....rough guide is you use same drop as if you were shooting to spot out in direct line horizontally to above the animal.fawn sure tastes good,poke bullet into the crease.its still a 6" target area.

    You're showin your age Mick - its a lot more complicated that that these days, and thats why you need your iphone before you make the shot.
    Just as well the deer aren't in a hurry no more
