Ruger Predator 6.5 Grendel
Hornady case, 26.5 grains XBR, Barnes 127 LRX, CCI400 primer= consistent .3 MOA @ 100 yards
Shot distance was a whopping 25 yards and the death run was about 60. I'm colorblind and I could easily follow the blood trail!
Field dressing revealed only the bottom 3rd of the heart was rattling around in the chest cavity and a big hole through the lungs. While processing it looks like the bullet caught the edge of a rib going in and pretty much dead-centered another rib on the exit side. Both holes in the chest were the size of a golf ball. I usually keep the deer ribs and smoke them like pork ribs, but these were almost completely bloodshot on entrance and exit side. No bueno for the ribs!
She is a happy camper!
