I've had great experiences on paper with the 87. Noexperience on game beyond 1 whitetail doe that was DRT from a high shoulder shot at 187 yards. They are priced right, but every gun that shoots, seems to REALLY shoot the 90 Lapua. May have to give em a go.

My son shot his 3rd deer with an 87 gr VMAX, that buck didn't go 30 yds.
Great shooting by the way, looks like you've got that load dialed in.

Now that's a hunter's rifle. Very nice.

Screw the rifle, that is some nice shooting. I know guys who couldn't shoot that 400 yard group with a 395 yard barrel. 400 yards five shots from sand bags - longest range I have at home. ![[Linked Image]](http://i1377.photobucket.com/albums/ah54/csmith6635/IMG_2896_zpsbelbu4ix.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i1377.photobucket.com/albums/ah54/csmith6635/IMG_2899_zpsyuryjusp.jpg)

It is better to be judged by 12 than to be carried by 6.

Nice shooting indeed! I love light rifles, especially ones that shoot like that.

Second nice lightweight rifle of yours, and great shooting again to boot!
Long-range is a systems approach, and it seems you have the whole package down pretty goo.
