Congratulations of a great shot! That is a beautiful animal.Hunting mule deer in Idaho with Heaven's Gate Outfitters. We get to a point that has a great view and start glassing. This bruiser steps out at 718 yards. My guide looks at me and ask if I can make the shot. I said yes, but my rifle (custom 6.5 creedmoor) was set up out to 600. He said his rifle could make the shot. A custom gunwerks 6.5 creedmoor with a gunwerks custom turret on a 2.5-10 night force. worked perfectly. dropped where it stood. hornady 140 grain match ammo. 190" and 31.5" spread.
