I stalked a couple of much nicer bucks, but couldn't make it happen with either of them. Then... This rascal showed up on my horizon with two does and presented me with a nice clean 255 yard shot. The 30-06 spoke, and did a fine job, punching the 165 grain Nosler Ballistic Tip through the buck, bringing him right down. That's the exit wound.
My apologies for the photo. It's just a quick snap from my cell phone. My buddy took a bunch of photos, and I'm sure they're nicer.
Rifle is a 30-06 Rem 700 CDL, pillar bedded, free floated, and with the trigger set at 3#
Scope is a 6x Leupold with the 36mm obj and "long range" hash marks
Ammo is handloaded 165 gr Nosler Ballistic Tip at 2970 fps via H4350
Good, solid rifle which has performed very well for me on several different big game species.
Best of luck to all you hunters!
