Creedmoor shooter

Theres not much out there on this bullet other than Nathan Foster documenting som results on it. Going off what he has experienced I decided to try it for my self. I'm shooting them out of my Remington 700 long range 7mm Rem mag. Using rl-26 I'm launching them at 2959 fps. I shot a decent NH 9 point Saturday evening. The shot was about 50-75 yards. He ran approximately 75 yards before expiring. I didnt make the best shot on him because it was getting dark and I needed to turn my illumination on but he was looking right at me so the less movement I did the better. Anyway, I got him skinned out and so for from what I'm seeing it did its job very well. Here's a pic of the entry. 7mm sized hole. He was quartering to me slightly. Hit the point of the shoulder busting it all to heck.
This is the inside of the ribcage. The right side being entry. It's hard to tell but it's about the size of a golf ball. Exit side about a half dollar
Then we have the exit out the opposite leg. It's about the size of my thumb. Seems the bullet held together quite nicely after going through the shoulder.
Because of where I hit him, the vitals were not hit square. It liquified the lower lobe of his left lung and hit the top of the heart. I'll know more when I actually butcher him on what the bullet did when it hit the shoulder. Just wanted to share my experience with the projectile. I'll definitely be using them again.
