[QUOTE="JTH, post: 2690166, member: 59647"] I used the 151 Cayuga in my 7 Max on a couple trips this fall, in the Texas hill country last week and in Montana back in October. I’ll cover Texas first: First one was hit broadside from about 100 yards. Shot was offhand so I put it behind the shoulder to get some margin for error. Caliber size entry, exit maybe double that. Very little blood on the ground but he only made it about 40 yards. [ATTACH alt="4FD2C7E2-31EC-4767-A9B0-77D0596A6A63.jpeg"]419837[/ATTACH] Second one was quartering to, about 100 yards, hit on the shoulder and exited back behind the ribs. Lots of blood on the ground, only made it 20-30 yards. [ATTACH alt="096242D2-0F3C-4E39-86C5-0FC20F90DF2F.jpeg"]419838[/ATTACH] In the photos below you can see the caliber size entry wound in the shoulder of the second buck. I’ve got the shoulder pulled down so you can see the damage behind the shoulder. Exit wound was large.

They were broadside shoulder hits and were both dead right there Bonus ‘two for one’ shot on one of them, got lined up with a piglet on the backside. [ATTACH alt="2FB566CF-0DE4-4594-A815-320DD261D35D.jpeg"]419841[/ATTACH] Also used the Cayuga on a Montana Whitetail back in October. Shot was about 200 yards. High shoulder and he was dead right there. [ATTACH alt="B10955CF-DF75-4D5D-B4B0-3DA98C5BB9EB.jpeg"]419842[/ATTACH] The accuracy on the 151 Cayuga’s in my 7 Max has been incredible. 1/2 MOA groups or better out to 600 yards. Terminal performance is very good, making contact with the shoulder definitely improves expansion and either delivers an instant bang flop or a suitable blood trail, which so far results in an animal 40 yards or less away. The only thing I don’t like is I’m having to seat them so far out to get this accuracy that I’ve had several rounds come apart in my pocket or after cycling through the rifle. Other than that, they are outstanding. [/QUOTE]
