I hunted my tail off in South West Arkansas over the last day in a half, hunting was brutally thick, the sawbriars didn't disappoint.
I was fortunate enough to level the sights of my new Shiloh 40-65 on three deer, three shots, then three rode home with me.
Deer #1, Doe, 88 yards, clean broadside double shoulder shot, DRT, complete penetration.
Deer #2, Doe, 30 yards, extremely hard quartering away shot, raked and penetrated ribcage on left side, bullet exited right front center shoulder, 30 yard death run, complete penetration.
Deer #3, 5pt buck, 105 yards, full front on chest with a slight leftward front cant, bullet entered left center chest and exited right ham, DRT, complete penetration.
I had a damn blast and was blessed to have this hunt.
Bullet was a 416 gr Lyman flat nosed greaser at 1285 fps with KIK 3F Holy Black.
With over 4 feet of penetration on this buck, I'd gladly point this rifle at a Bison with complete confidence.
