I am impressed on this combination. I shot four whitetail this last Monday. One shot each and the deer fell. Not a single step, they just fell.
That load in a 700 Mountain rifle with a M8-6x on top shot under 1 MOA. Three were rib shots. Two of those from the side and one was facing me the bullet entered in between the shoulder and the ribs - took out a few ribs and exited out just in front of the hip. The fourth was an off-hand shot and it took out the spine. The first three were about 250 yards away. The fourth maybe 150 yards.
I have two more tags to fill. I’m going out with a 700 Classic 257 Roberts. The stock was too nice to take out and I had an extra BDL stock laying around. 100 grain Interlocks this time out. This rifle is wearing a Fullfield II 3x9. We will be going out a week or so after Thanksgiving. That combination is also < 1 MOA.
