[QUOTE="Snyderite, post: 2319960, member: 120291"] Friday I shot my rifle, a 6.5 prc using the factory Precision Hunter ammo. 600 and as a newb I had an amazing half moa group. One flyer I jerked. Saturday morning I found a mulie doe. 450 no wind, prone, correct dope, perfect trigger press. First shot looked to have hit low heart. She hops and goes broadside again. Shot again and it looked to have gone maybe couple inches above the first. They take off out of sight. No blood or and no dead deer. Now yes I'm a newb and I could have missed. But I've never had a deer hop like that after missing. And I've missed a lot of deer, to be fair. Just not sure how it could have been a miss. Especially since I thought I saw impacts. The same ammo did great on my antelope a few weeks ago. I dunno. I'm going to shoot the same distance this next weekend and triple check everything. I don't want to blame the bullet but the shots felt really really good. [/QUOTE]
