Nice shooting GG. Don't worry about that range with that sort of wind. You did what you went to do.

Ya done good.

goodgrouper do you know how many ft lbs it take to break a lope shoulder and if you do what is the maximum range in the 6br tejas to break it? how far would you shoot at a mule deer with this round? miss ya last trip preacher

I guessed about 200 to 250 ft/lbs for the lope so about 900 yards or so in theory. My first shot on the 800+ doe would have smeared her into the dirt.

Mule deer come in many more sizes than antelope. Given good shot placement, a big deer would fold at 400 I would bet.

See ya next trip! GG
