88 ELD-M's at 3178. New Lilja modified 84M contour, 1-7 twist. Worked very well. The antelope did not take a step. Shot at 366 yds according to the Leica. Now to test on deer in a couple of weeks. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/ZY1m9x9V/20221008_102050.jpg)

And I got to watch this burn off before I spotted the buck at about 2 miles. I love where I live. Only about 5 miles from home. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/85dt4Dpy/20221008_075517.jpg)

Nice looking buck, and of course beautiful country. Hopefully there are a few left when I'm out with my boys in a couple weeks.

Looks like over-penetration to me..  Nice lope and beautiful ground man! Was it a pass through or?

Very nice. I put together another bolt 20” 223, I am curious what velo this would obtain? 2750 perhaps.

S. My son is running 88’s in his 22” 223 AI and getting just over 2700.

The Schofield Kid: Yeah, well, I guess they had it coming.

Marty the 6.5 is still a go to but with the new barrel I had to give it a run. Think I'll take the new 22-250 AI and a Borden Alpine 260 AI for deer this year.
Was a pass through with about a 2" exit right at the shoulder neck junction.
Good to see you on here again Russell. We have to catch up.
Gruff if you get over to this side let me know. Always cold beer or bourbon available
Thanks for the comments. Fun quick hunt as I had quite a few days to see what was on the ranch I got to hunt beforehand. This guy and his twin were about all I found.
