WhiteTail Success and Federal Vital Shock Bullet
 
Went out this weekend in southern Alberta for a WT. Saw this guy wayyy out there. Dropped him with 1 shot and even recovered the bullet.
It was a Federal Vital Shock in .270


(sorry about the smudged faces, creeps me out posting my face online)

Congrats. :)

You're too modest. Didn't have much to do with the bullet. ANY bullet should be able to drop a little guy like that if properly placed. The fact that it was properly placed WAYYYYY out there is a result of your good shooting. :happy0034:

Just how far is "way far" anyway? :)

Oh, and is that the Barnes Triple shock X lead-free bullet? 130g?

wayy out
 
Range finder had him at 366 yards.

and yes that is the bullet. Barnes triple at 130 g

I'd smudge my face out too if I shot a buck that small! Ha, just kidding.

Hey, great job!

Always nice to see how the projectile performs and deforms. Thanks for the pics!

Its a model 70 pre-64 in .270

The action is the smoothest, most solid piece of equipment i've ever touched.
