[QUOTE="Lonehill, post: 1224284, member: 97423"] This was not my experience with 6.5 Grendel and SST the last couple years. Shot a buck broadside at 90 yds right behind shoulder, he took off like hadnt been hit at all. Running flat out started quartering slightly right at about 150, put crosshairs on last rib and let 'er rip. All that did was make him turn straight away again and stomp the gas. At this point, i'm ready to start puking or throw my rifle out of the box. Gave up praying he'd stop or turn when he hit 200 yd mark. The only saving grace of the AR imho is you get 5 shots, aint dying if lead aint flying. So i put crosshairs dead center on his backdoor and gave him the 'ol Texas heart shot right up the exhaust pipe. This one still didn't stop him but it slowed him up. All 3 shots hit EXACTLY where aimed including the last one and he ran another 60 yds. Second buck was shot at 80 yds again through ribs trotting this time, no reaction whatsoever. Turned still trotting after his doe, he crossed river to my side and ran straight at me where i was sitting on ground backed up against a stump. Shot him in the neck at 12 yards and he **** near dropped on me. I will never shoot at another mature buck with a 6.5 Grendel !!! [/QUOTE]
