*VIDEO* 550 Yard shot with 230 Berger.

[Huntnful]

This was my buddy's buck on our hunt. He opted to use my gun for this 550 yard shot. Buck never got out of his bed. The jacket of the bullet was sitting in the hide in the offside armpit. So no exit on this one.

Thanks for sharing both hunts and the remains from shot two. Great stuff.

The 230 has been my bullet of choice for three years now but I'm taking a 7 saum this year with a 180 hybrid.

I need your job…it seems you have plenty of time to hunt. Another studly mulie!

We really appreciate the video and pics. The very definition of DRT. Bedded bucks give the hunter the time to work out the variables and let the bullet do its job.
Well done!

Great shot on a great buck. Congrats

Thanks dudes! This is my first year with a 30 Cal and the 230's. I'm liking it so far! Still a little surprised the 230 didn't exit at 550 yards. Hahaha, I use one week for family vacation and 5 weeks for hunting

I seem to remember someone recommending 230's right out of the gate?

Hard to argue with the results but that core/jacket separation makes me nervous.

Congrats to your buddy.

Great shot, by the way. You and your buds have had a heck of a year already, and it's still early. Still haven't gotten over the jealousy of your double elk in the rut experience, lol. By the way, can I get you on a Zoom call with my boss (wife) in reference to the above information. I think it's vitally important, perspective-wise.

Yeah I hear you, but I've somewhat overcame that thought with the bergers. They just kill stuff so dead. But I do like my exit holes too lol.

Hahahaha, put me on! I'll lay down the law for her and slowly back away and let you handle the aftermath

Congrats! Awesome but I think you need to coin new acronym.
