[QUOTE="frankinaustin, post: 1420044, member: 71931"] In feb I shot an old doe at 424 y with a moderate 162 amax handload. Drt- I was laying prone, and just put the correct dot of the bdc on her shoulder joint, did a few practice squeezes on safe, then the safe came off, breath out... slow gradual squeeze..... watched her flop down. I went thru A LOT of Advil from the haul of bringing that doe out of the foothills. Long range shots = need a 4 wheeler..... My 162 amax load is 39.8 gr imr 8202 on Lapua brass and a br2 primer loaded to mag length. Shot another doe next morning at 50y, facing me, POI center of the sternum..... blew 8" x 4" cavern out of the ribs and most of the small intestines out. Amax explode. For the spingtime I am working up a load for 120 NBTs under ramshot biggame using Lapua small primer Palma brass. Just trying to see how much range I could get in a sub MOA load. Might also see what I can do with Varget under that 162 amax. There are some bench guys down under that shoot the AI 40 degree shoulder versions with small primer brass and get 2800 fps from 180 bergers over Varget. Who needs a belted mag when that's possible??? [/QUOTE]
