At least you got out there at a distance that the round was designed for, unlike my experience last fall with a 26 Nosler.

I borrowed a friend's new 26 Nosler and went to a spot where shots are normally 250-300yds. Of course a doe walked out at 100yds. She ate good though!

Nice one BTW. I'd love to go hunt one of those someday.

Wow! That is some serious 6.5 speed.

Fotis, is that a factory 6.5 Wby, or did you have it made? Knowing you, you've got it shooting .25 MOA :-)
