225 yards. 150 ballistic tip at 2780fps. What chambering? Nice shootin', and real nice rack!
Rod, too.
Short cuts often lead to long recoveries.

Great deer. Nothing like the .30 BT. They're the handgunner's friend.

Very nice.. How was the terminal performance of the BT? Very good. I have been shooting these since they changed them and it has turned into one of my favorite bullets. From My rifles it is running right at 3000fps and they hold together great. Haven't had one stop in a deer.

Great shot! That's a fine looking buck.
It takes 43 muscles to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger squeeze.
