I finally made my first kill on a deer over 200 yds. Last Saturday I killed a button buck at 210 yards. I've killed a coyote at 250 yards, but I was really wanting to take a deer. The round hit exactly where I wanted it to. The 300gr SST did a wonderful job.  |

Good shooting lefthand. I have yet to reach 200. I killed one three years ago at a lasered 199 yards. Got to the kill site and range back to my stand still got 199. I try and set up my stands for 100 yard shots in food plots and about 40-50 yards in the woods.

300gr sst is a great bullet what powder primer sabot combo do u use? 71.5gr of RE7 and HPH12 sabots. Groups are right at 1 MOA out to 300 yards, and have been very consitent over the years regardless of temp, from 60 deg, to -10. Over 60 deg, you only have one, or maybe 2 shots and then your done. It's not a good load for range work in mild to warm weather, and it kicks the liven snot out of me. |

Congrats, bet you didn't feel that kick when you pulled the trigger on that deer.

That does sound like a healthy load (except from the deer's perspective). Good shot.

Yes, it is a healthy load, and no, I never feel the recoil while hunting. Even at the range, it normally takes several seconds for me to think about whether the recoil was a lot or a little.
