The 375 Ruger is not just for pigs

Been swapping blinds and rifles. Using the 375 in the morning at the closer shot and 7 mag at the longer one. On a whim I took the Ruger to the long shot this after noon. This guy comes out chasing a doe before the feeder goes off! The Ruger is zeroed at 200 but I misjudge the distance as the buck is leaving, shot goes low! He shows up again to my left and stops at maybe 225. I aim a little higher and he takes off but I see him stagger behind some brush! Rugered another, not huge but when you are subdivided on three sides he will do.

Nice one. What bullet and at what velocity?

260 gr Nosler Partition at about 2650. I do not push it too hard. I loaded it up to max then backed off till it was more fun to shoot!

You sure seem to have fun with that .375! And that's a very nice buck, by the way. tu2 tu2
