[QUOTE="regularjoe, post: 756043, member: 33806"] Here is my 2011 Idaho bull... the wolves haven't eaten them all. Range: 975 yrds Wind: dead calm Rifle : HS Precision 300WSM Bullet: Handload 180 gr. Barns TTSX, RL 17 3050 muzzle velocity Optics: Nightforce NXS 5.5-22 Rest: prone on a flat rock with a Harris bipod The bull was broadside and unaware on the opposite side of a canyon. I had coached myself to limit a shot to 600 yards.... even though I had practiced a lot, taken courses and was confident.... but still. When he started to move towards the timber, I changed my mind and took the shot. The bullet struck the humerus(below the shoulder blade) bone and broke it. The bull stumbled downhill and came to rest at 740 yards. He was lying down preventing a second body shot. A neck shot finished him. I have now worked up a great load for the 200 gr LRX. [/QUOTE]
