[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 2621955, member: 87243"] Few more goats down!!! So the first one was my nephews first buck, he wasn't going to be very picky so the first decent one they found got the 156. Again, these are all from the .264 win mag, 7.5 twist, 3080 fps. Range was 568 yards, and he made a perfect heart shot. Nicked the humorous bone on entrance, only rib on exit, and blew the heart entirely out of the body. The heart was literally laying on the ground where it had blown out the exit hole! Goat took two steps and face planted in a massive pool of blood, as you can see - [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_7457.jpg"]395177[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_7456.jpg"]395179[/ATTACH] Exit wound - [ATTACH type="full" alt="Resized_20220917_113336_551.jpeg"]395180[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_7454.jpg"]395181[/ATTACH] To say it was effective would be an understatement ha ha. The next two my sister got were quite interesting..... They snuck up over a ridge on the edge of the field the skittish goats were in, and ranged them at 560 yards, almost the same distance as the buck. There was a doe standing alone, or so they thought.
