[QUOTE="Elk Fire, post: 1757241, member: 102131"] My 6.5 Sherman Short has 5 whitetailes and a mountain lion under its belt this year. All but one were at 400-500 ish yards. Tonight I stretched it out to 1020 on a doe. All with the 156 in 8 twist 26” heart barrel, at 3100 FPS. One buck I thought I had a possible bullet issue, but after cutting him up it was just a high hit at a steep down hill angle. My daughter shot just on top of the shoulder, no real bone involved. Just top of spine fins. Bullet still expanded for sure, and did a lot of damage, just didn’t get inside the ribs. Second shot cleaned that up. All the rest had expected results and damage was extensive. Most shots involved some bone though. Still had exits on all shots, including the quartered away deer at 1020. Daughters have cow elk tags still so should get some action there. [/QUOTE]
