awesome, got 2 whitetail does and an antelope doe also this season with 16.1" barrel and hornady black, 250, 200 and 183 yards, all drt's, exits and a lot of lost meat on the shoulders, puts us at 7 species now and 18 kills over 6 seasons, same ammo, for only burning 30 grains of powder it's pretty remarkable, I tried 3 times to fill my cow elk tag and ran into bulls, last year was the opposite so still looking for species number 8, next year will try again, funny thing is I picked up a 308 to play with and on one of the hunts got to select it's preferred ammo of 8 tested and the only two that went sub moa was hornady eld-m match (regular white box) and fusion 180's, .6" ctc for 3 shot groups with a 6x scope laying prone on a bipod...promptly shot a small rack fat body whitetail buck about 175 yards with the 308 and took heart without destroying a shoulder so it was able to do a few hops to 15 yards....funny it was shorter shot distance and longest recovery of all 4 animals so far this season lol...the little grendel that can
