[QUOTE="JTB, post: 1955420, member: 97196"] A few year back I had a perfectly calm morning and a coues buck grazing in on some scrub oak right at 1000 yards. This was when we were just starting to figure out long range hunting. I had a mark 4 on a 270 WSM with a stock barrel sitting on a Boyd’s thumb hole stock. It was dialed in very well with some 140 Acubonds. My boy was ranging and spotting for me. He had just purchased some highly treasured Sworo 15x56s. I had a solid bipod rest atop a good sized bolder. After all the calculating I let one fly and he watched the vapor trail lead to a hit somewhere on the shoulder. He was yelling that “it dropped” and I was waiting to here him say it was getting up but it never moved, never took a step. It was a pass through just under the shoulder and we found the AB on the ground just a few feet from the deer. It had opened up about 3/8”-1/2” from the tip in a spiral fashion. We calculated the impact velocity to be about 1650. Wouldn’t take that shot with that combo now days but with the right placement it doesn’t really take much [/QUOTE]
