NICE!!! Fantastic Shot for Having Sleep Deprivation! Beautiful Symmetrical Rack. Is the barrel .392/.400 or .400/.408? (392/400) 1-25" twist polygonal rifling.

Thanks for the compliments everyone, I appreciate it. I owe it all to Doug's and many of it's members for teaching me this sport. Thanks Omega for all the 40 cal help since day 1, you've been a great mentor and a savior!
Carlos, if I ever build a new Poly which I very well may, I will definitely make sure you get this one buddy, thanks for all you've done for me as well, you're greatly appreciated buddy!!
Thanks to Luke for supplying so many of the parts to all the guns I have and Cole for giving up the best gun he coulda ever had and Dave for putting up with my stupidity for so many years and guiding me along. Even tho I used his knife many times over and used him as a dragger many times over. 😂😂

So the original pic is the exit? Nice. Is that a drop chart on the bottom of your mag well? Yes that is the exit, he's laying a lil funny in that pic so it makes it look higher than it actually is. Yes that is a drop chart taped to my stock. The area I hunt now can sometimes almost mandate that you have one depending on what spot you sit that day. Thanks. Great spot for the chart, I would have never thought of it. So with the version 1 you guys are shooting, is the tip breaking off and the body plowing through? From the exit it looks like if that's what's happening the flat meplat that is left after tip separation is sure doing the job. Since we never got them to shoot saboted, we never made it to expansion testing, and I've always wondered how they were performing terminally. So glad you guys got them to shoot and wish our state would un plug it's head and allow .40 here.

Nice buck !! I wish here in Va we could use a 40caliber during muzzleloader season. I'd build one in a minute!

Didn't lose much meat with that shot placement and bullet combo. Gotta love those monos.

I shot this a few years back into water jugs and books around 50yds full formed. CEB said after seeing the results that it acts just like their Raptor line of bullets. After a couple inches of penetration the front portion violently blows and the rest keeps going. CEB has videos online of their Raptor bullets in other calibers being shot into gel.

Thanks all, like to have a repeat this year but EHD is wiping out the deer in my hunting area. Not looking good.
