[QUOTE="Rimfire, post: 331480, member: 8839"] I shoot a 107 @2850 in a 6br Last year I took a doe at 760 and it needed a 2nd shot both were well placed and the 1st would have killed it. But since it was far and it didn't move I had the chance to put another in it and speed things up. Way to far in my opinion but I was culling and didn't bring the wsm. Last years buck was at 516 looking at me on a slight quarter. I put it inside his shoulder pocket / chest. He went 50 yards and when he was butchered it looked like he was hit by a SUV. It did a great job. Fox also at 680 with a nice 1" exit DRT. Not much experience with it but in the 15-20 deer I've taken with it none were lost. If you pick your shots and put them in the right place it works well very accurate and easy to place a shot. Part 2 I was going to bring it antelope hunting in Wyoming this year an left it home. All deer were shot on my terms no wind etc. In Wyoming wind a BR at 2800 FPS would be like trying to chase a fart in a wind storm. So if you are willing to pass shots that you could make with a larger cartridge take it. Or if you can bring a second gun for lesser conditions I would also bring it. Conditions will determine how far it will work. For good results I would go 500 or even better 400. [/QUOTE]
