Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Long Range Hunting 7mm 195 gr Berger Elite Hunter pics

Just returned from a great deer hunt. Held out for a big buck until the last day, then shot a meat buck, a big bodied 9pt mulie with the 195 at 2970 fps out of the Mashburn. Only 200 yards. Shot behind the shoulder. Double lung

He hunched, teetered for a bit, fell and tried to get up but was done.

Hide showed no sign of entrance or exit and I assumed classic Berger performance. Didn't do an autopsy as I process gutless. Entrance was the size of a nickel on the left side of the rib cage and a visible hole on the exit side was the size of a quarter.





My buddy held out as well. Killed a nice buck with the 168 LR Accubond out of a 7 Mag, seated on sticks at 380 yards the last hour of light. Through the shoulders and it made a bloodshot mess out of them.
