[QUOTE="shooter7, post: 1262316, member: 39303"] Shot a 3.5 year old 5x5 this year with my snowy mountain built 260 rem. Shot was about 60 yards. First shot hit lungs, second was a high shoulder and third was to the neck which put him down. Unfortunately I did the gutless method on him so I never got a good look at his internals. The shoulder shot put a nice little 26 caliber hole right thru the shoulder blade next to that spine/ridge that runs vertical along the scapula. It did not exit the body cavity. Neither did the lung shot. The neck shot destroyed a vertebrae and left a baseball sized exit wound. That being said it was a super mild load. Nosler brass (neck sized) 42 gr R19 CCI 200 Berger 130vld MV 2613 out of a 26 inch 8 twist Kreiger Overall a 140 going a few hundred fps faster would probably work better. I felt very under gunned.
