[QUOTE="kmarsh1966, post: 2076563, member: 116432"] I took one high fence at 434 this past November. Trying to set up one in the FT Stockton area now. I shoot PRS so right there with you on the practice. From what I understand wind can be an issue. On my prior hunt I used 6.5 PRC with Berger 156 EOL at 3044. I shot a Sika at 230 with the same bullet (same trip) perfect shot broadside right up the front leg 1/3 the way up. The first shot didnt phase him. I fired second shot same. the guide tells me that shot was low. I aim at top of back, and see splash over the top of him, he finally reacts to that. He steps to the right quartering to me. So I put one more in him in his chest. Now he starts running and is wobbly slows with the opposite side, and i put one more in him..... He is finally down. I’m mortified, I CAN SHOOT. The only visible entrance is shot #4. In necropsy every round hit. #1 perfect shot. #2 1” either left or right of shot #1. #3 tore the hair off the mane and left a 1-2” strip of skin without any penetration. #4 front right chest. #5 was Right broadside 1/2 way up the animal up the right leg. Every Shot but #3 were Fatal. I intentionally pushed the berger EOL to 3040 thinking that was going to be “the hammer”. Impact velocity was 2700 FPS on the Sika. Auodad - same bullet different story. Impact velocity 2500 fps. Broadside, typical berger BANG - FLOP one shot. [/QUOTE]
