[QUOTE="DZelenka, post: 612862, member: 20543"] I didn't skin the deer until after my first post. The post mortem revealed I was a fuzz lower than I thought I should have been. Chopped the top of the heart off. Bullet landed about 4" up from the brisket. Windage was perfect. I was 1 click up from my 400 yard zero, could have used 2. Temperature may have affected my velocity a touch or maybe the shot broke low. Doesn't really matter. The deer piled up in short order. The bullet looked like it expanded at least somewhat. There was a decent hole in the rib cage going in and coming out. It did hit some ribs. The heart was whole except for the top which was mangled. Makes for a good blood trail. I saw a good buck this evening just at dark but couldn't get on him with my rifle. It would have been interesting. The wind was running 18 - 22 mph from around 1:00 - 1:30. Range was 350ish. I was debuting my 7SAUM, but it was not to be. Maybe tomorrow. The wind is supposed to be in the single digets. Dan [/QUOTE]
