300 SS makes first kill

[Idaho Trecker]

I am very excited to be able to finally post to this forum as this is my first kill over 1000 yards!!! I started the afternoon out by sighting in my rifle with my new scope and being very happy with the group. About 2 hours after this group I spotted this big boy sauntering out of the timber to the field and then I started getting really excited seeing his rack and the distance.

I ranged him at 1110 Yards!!! For me this was my furthest shot on game to date. I dialed up 24.25 moa and held the 2moa for wind and let the 215 Berger fly. The shot flew true and was a perfect heart/lung shot that left a racket ball sized exit.

Nice buck and good job not falling to buck fever.

Fist pumping on my phone right now!! Great work. Bet all the powder and load development seems like a drop in the bucket now. Long like the 300 SS!

Thank you!
There are a few pages now on my 300 SS thread and one think that shows throughout is the accuracy on this rifle/cartridge combo.
