Used a .280 Ackley Improved built by Chad Dixon of Long Rifles, Inc. with a 140 Accubond at 3,160.

Shots were 510'ish and 520'ish. First shot double lunged him but he was still on his feet. My first rule of thumb is that if they are not on the ground and you have a shot, shoot him again. I did. Right through the throat as it was all I could see.

I'll be switching bullets next year for sure...
