Fred, the 7 WSM was let to eat on a nice 225-250 #er yesterday at 578yds via my buddies 13 yo kid as he didn't feel his win 70 .308 and vxii 3-9 was up to the task despite my ensuring him it would. Should have taken video as the conversation leading to the shot was likely epic and ended after the shot with me telling him to wipe the jhizz off my rifle and the smile off his face. Bastard thought 578 was difficult and couldn't believe it was just a small correction for wind and elevation.
Little bastard offered me $750 for it and couldn't believe he needed to add a zero IF he could talk me into selling it. He seriously thought a GAP rifle and Kahles scope "couldn't be worth much more then $1k new". Damn kids these days.....
Shot was quartering behind inside shoulder and out the throats and yogi simply dropped. That 180 ELD is still flying for all I know and terminal performance was nails.
Still need to find me a bear worth burning a tag on here soon.
