RIGHT...BEHIND THE LEFT SHOULDER 40yd +/-

I WILL LET THE EXPERTS EXPLAIN THE WHATS AND WHYS ON THIS

as a follow to the questions from TANZAN I had the bullets weighted...top row left to right...298...273...298...296
middle row left to right...290...300...300
bottom row left to right...50.1.....269.3

I have a friend who takes his ballistics and loading very serious and he suggested that I might be mistaken in the order of the shots for the 300g BARNES TSX (can you believe the gall to suggest that I made a mistake)...he agrees with Tanzan..being a novice on this ,I had thought that the ones with the petals that were open the most were my first and longest shots..I know on the first shot the BUFF dropped and was finished with two other shots and the CROC did not move after the first shot...anyway this will give you something to ponder...I have two boxes left and I liked the end results of these rounds....

Wonderful hunt. Looks like they must have had a larger amount of rain than normal--more grass than I remember from several years ago.

WOULD YA LOOK AT THE HEAD ON THAT

MY GOD
