Way to go, tahts in IMPRESSIVE bull and an IMPRESSIVE shot!
I"m always waffling, since I have this 284 thats supposed to be a mountain gun... for long shots... vs bc and energy, do I go 140 or 120... one of these days I'm going to have to bed it and shoot it, but its been safe in the safe for 5 yeras so far. LOL.
I might have to look at energy and such again, 120 gives a bit more MV... wind drift is usually the biggest issue...
Love Barnes for sure.

Thanks to all. Rem 700 SA, 7-08ai in a B&C Lightweight Medalist skim bedded with a factory Alaskan Ti barrel (basically an Alaskan Ti with a std SS action). Trijicon Accupoint 3-9 with amber, mil-dot reticle. It's right at 7-6 scoped in Talleys.

Great animal, congrats
Nice set up as well.
Picture of the bullet? I know some guys don't trust ttsx and since this was 400 yards with 08. I'd like too hear your thoughts.
All of them do something better than the 30-06, but none of them do everything as well.

In response to Dre above, the bullet exited. She hit him broadside behind the heart - so no big bones were hit. There was about a quarter to half dollar sized exit. He moved about 40 yds and went down and didn't get back up. She did finish him when they got to him.

Way to go Hope! I hope I can kill a bull half as nice some day. I love seeing the ladies hunt, as the father of a young huntress I can't wait to show her the pictures.
