[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1765592, member: 30902"] Just an update. I drug "The Beast" out this week since it was lonely. Still running the 150gr VLR4 Peregrines in it. One 300lbs sow, bad angle, 320 yards, shot enters just behind the shoulder, exits just in front of the off side hip nicking the spine on the way through. She was dead before she hit the ground. One really neat nine point WT, (5x4), 340 yards perfectly broadside. Didn't want to screw up the cape or waste any meat so put it about midway between shoulder and last rib, perfect pass through nicking the spine instant lights out, didn't even kick. That gun, that bullet have combined now for 2 dozen deer and over a hundred big hogs since finding a home here five or so years back. Honestly I'd been busy playing with the 6.5's for the last few years and it's been terribly neglected. I've been shooting hogs after dark though and have an illuminated VX6 4-24x52 on "The Beast" so he's getting a little field time. I'd almost forgotten just how well it shoots. Took it to the range to check the scope Saturday, put 3 in a 3/8" clover leaf at 200yds so I figure he was still up to the task! **** I like that gun! [/QUOTE]
