[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 563580, member: 13632"] Thanks a bunch guys!! It sure was a great hunt and the shot was exactly what I was looking for, the first shot would have been dead nuts on but I though I was going to shoot under the wind coming over the ridge but when I walked down through there with the Kestrel the wind came back down along the face sooner than I had expected I sure was happy to have some good BC on my side :D Next shot from that spot will be on the dime!! A big thanks to Broz for pushing to get dialed in tighter and learn more from each shot taken! Roy, I've been talking with Marshal about finding the top end of the 175gr I'm thinking somewhere around 3250-3300 may be doable in the right package. I'm going to get set up to shoot some IWK's this week, I still have a wolf tag burning a hole in my pocket gun) This is the second bull taken with the 165 Matrix in our group, my buddy shot a nice bull at 85 yards with his 270 Win, he was very happy to have a 165gr bullet instead of a 130 with the shot he had. It was heavy quartering through the spine and blew up the back of the lungs dropping him, he tried to get up so he stuck one in his neck, that 165 wrecked him!! [/QUOTE]
