[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 2612335, member: 87243"] Well, tis the season!!! My dad used his .264 wm to take this doe pronghorn last night at 630 yards, nothing new here, bullet did great. Muzzle velocity is 3080 fps, impact velocity was 2395. There was about a 4 mph wind at the shot, .5 MOA was dialed to account for that. However he said when the shot broke, he was a little far back, and the impact reflected that. Bullet went in 2 ribs in from the back, and exited where you can see in the photo, slightly quartered away. The bullet still made up for it, destroyed the liver and the back of the lungs, speed goat speeded about 75 yards before it slowed down, took a wide stance, got unstable and tipped over. It was late when we were processing it, so I didn't get any photos, but as it was just rib impact/exit, no serious meat damage or loss, very minimal. Internal damage was extreme, half the lungs were jelly, the liver was shredded, and unfortunately the paunch was opened up. But, we were still able to keep it pretty clean with a good rinse out in the field, we always take several large water jugs to clean them out, so any residue that was inside the animal was cleaned out promptly and not allowed to dry on the insides, making for an easy clean up. Bottom line, the 156 is still working great! And as always, goat hunting is a family event! [ATTACH type="full"]392026[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
