...Man Im ready for muley season...
 
Load number three and rock on. I like how it has no vertical and point of impact is the same as a .5 grain higher and lower.
 
Mulies will be laughing-2.5" at 400
Ha-ha, just kidding. that's good shooting.
Is that the VLD hunting bullet?

...Ya its the 168gr. VLD hunting bullet set out as far as I can get it in the SA... Im doing another test at 7500ft from 60.0-60.5 in 10th gr. steps to fine tune it. Hope it dont change much!
 
This doe was shot at 422yds with a 168gr VLD from a 7WSM. I'd say it did a fine job.
