[QUOTE="Brain, post: 174085, member: 7343"] I shot a doe whitetail last week with a 7mm 162gr SST out of a 7RUM at 3320fps MV. Shot was at 230 yards slightly quartering away and right behind near side shoulder. Exited at the point of the elbow on the opposite side. The deer never took a step. Small entrance and exit holes before skinning. Once skinned, entrance and exit on the carcass were big enough to put a fist though. Catastrophic damage to vitals in chest cavity with very little lung tissue left intact. This is the first animal I have shot with the SST as I usually use Interlocks. I was impressed with the accuracy on paper but wasn't sure about performance in the field until now. Today I shot a groundhog ranged at 314 yards with the same round. Very windy conditions but impacted exactly where I wanted. Needless to say, there wasn't much left of the groundhog, but definitely a confidence booster for longer range deer. [/QUOTE]
