Had a chance to stretch it out this morning... Right at daylight I spotted a few does and this buck coming off a pivot and heading toward the sandhills... They crossed a flat and when reaching the hills the buck kept going ahead and made it to the top of the ridge.. I ranged him at 450yds.. This was too long of a shot off my bi-pod so I decided to keep still thinking the does and him would eventually go over the top and give me a chance on another stalk... After a minute or so waiting for something to happen the buck headed back down the ridge toward the does at the bottom... There was a hot doe in the bunch and he didn't want to let her get away 
... What a stroke of luck for me. ... I ranged the does at 318yds and when he got to them he immediately stuck his nose in the hot doe's behind and off they went... They were heading out when I let out a loud bleat.. They all stopped and I put the crosshairs on the top of his back and dropped the hammer... One little mule kick and he bit the dirt....
Since I've been shooting sabotless I've always went with the 11/59 N110/H322 250TEZ combo and was planning to do the same this year... but things seem to change sometimes... Last week at the range I was checking my Sav-Pac out one last time and helping a buddy with his new Sav-Pac... He was going with the 10/60 4759/H4198 250 FTX combo and getting great accuracy and around 2780 fps... Anyhow I tried it out and got the same results and at the last minute re-adjusted my scope and decided to go with the new combo myself... The 250 FTX hit perfect.. breaking two ribs, exploding the heart and lungs, breaking the opposite shoulder, with no exit.... Found only small fragments of bullet.... Same results as the 40 cal 200gn SST's used to do when shooting sabots.... Dead is dead when you're shooting 250gn bullets at nearly 2800fps... These guns are proven 300yd+ killers... Riverrat78 is coming out next week... I'm going to have to find him one now....
