Justin sent us pictures and an incredible field report from their recent Safari. His wife was using a 6.5 SAUM and the 139 Shock Hammer bullet.
Zebra
80 yards
Broadside shot. Bullet struck directly on the shoulder knuckle. Crushed both shoulder and anchored the Zebra where he stood. Bullet recovered retain about 60% of its weight which is expected hitting that much bone.
Sable
110 yards
Broadside shot impacted behind the shoulder. Based on damaged bullet expanded completely and exited offside. Recovered the bull in about 60 yards on a very obvious blood trail.
Kudu
115 yards
Sharp quartering toward shot. Bullet impacted between the should and neck. Exited through the last rib on the off side. Dropped the bull in his tracks as it did exception damage.
Golden Wildebeest
85 yards
Frontal shot. Bullet impacted center of chest and was recovered under the skin on the rear right leg. Bullet weight was 99% weight retention. No bone contact. This bull made a small circle where he stood before expiring. Extremely impressive performance, they aren't called poor man's Buffalo for nothing. Wildebeest are extremely tough to take down.
Red Hartebeest
160 yards.
Broadside shot. Impacted on the crease of the shoulder. Full expansion based on damage and exited. Bull was recovered about 100 yards from where he was shot.
Congratulations on an awesome hunt, incredible shooting, and thanks for sharing.
