Cool. that's good info. 17 yds is pretty darn close and the bullet was still scooting along.
How big was the goat? Any idea of what the recovered bullet weighed?

[align:left][/align] Put one through two shoulders of a mountain goat at 17 yards yesterday and recovered it just under the hide on the off side perfectly mushroom. Goat spun twice and fell over dead...mv out of the 270win is exactly 3000 with RL26. Good for you. Sounds exciting. Pics would be nice (of the goat, that is).

Here's a some pics of the goat, second is a crappy cell phone pic right after the shot. He was probably in the low to mid 200lb range. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/gallery/80/full/52728.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/gallery/80/full/52727.jpg)

Congrats on the nice goat, it's really nice to get them out on the flats. Doesn't happen too often that way.

DJb, I saved the bullet but haven't had a chance to weight it yet. I'm headed out tonight for 5 days to try and round up a bear. I'll weigh the recovered bullet early next week when I get back home.
