Load is 87gr RL33.
88 gr is max at 3560 but I stayed with 87
Speed 3480 fps
300 yards broadside full exit and you can eat right up to the hole

Outstanding, sir!

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.

well done!

Wow! That is some serious 6.5 speed.

Good shootin' Pop.

Congrats!! Always fun chasing antelope - looks like a fine buck. I'll be doing that same thing a week from today up around the Kaycee area!!

What? It wasn't cut and rapped, LOL.

Seriously, that is one fine set up.

Good on ya' there guy!

GWB

Nicely done!

Very nice!!!!!

Excellent!! I need to go look for one sometime soon..

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

You're better looking than I thought you'd be.

Well done!

It's a Weatherby. The whole back half is gone!

Think you can get that flyer back in the group...?

Wby ammo is good stuff, it should be for what it cost.

DF

The factory shoots a little better actually

Very impressive for a big boomer like that.

Controlled power...

DF

I could be wrong, but is that a super sniper on top? Curious as to what power you went with for this rifle?

Nice pic and nice shot.

👍

Super Sniper 3x15x42mm

Nicely done man....

250-300 yards, LOL thats 308 range easily for me.

But isn't it funny you gear up for long and they walk out and sniff on you. Gear up short, and they are way on out there and no way to get closer... YMMV.

Good for you.

Always fun to try a new rifle congrats on a nice goat!

Fotis,you're quite right on that last p.m.!

Would you recommend a rig like your's for my brother in CO who's looking to thin herd and just pick one accurate long-range zapper to take all NA species?

He does have a .375 should he go for grizz and such.

I love mine and it took me less than 15 bullets to find the load. Nice adj trigger slimmer stock palm swell etc. They have changed the MK5 rifle quite a bit

Sorry I'm late to congratulate you.
Very Nice buck, rifle/load, and shot !!!

OBTW - I thot you were younger !!
