The kid logged the first two kills with 6 creed this weekend.
Ruger American Gen 2 22" barrel with factory brake, haven't figured out which can I want to put on it yet. Velo unknown, wasn't going to chrono til I get 60 to 80 rounds through it.
Hornady Match 108 ELD M
Animal 1: 1.5 year old whitetail buck. 95 yards and slight quartered to. Entrance was just behind front shoulder and a little high. Exit was mid body. Caught top of lung, liver, and back of offside lung. Bullet diameter hole through hide and muscle tissue, opened up to 1.5 inches on impact with ribs. 3 separate exit holes, one larger and 2 smaller from shrapnel. Traveled 15 yards before expiring. Enough blood to follow but mostly due to location of entrance and exit, body cavity was full.
Animal 2: yearling whitetail doe. 110 yards and quartered away. Entered the middle of the scapula mid body and bullet was found against the hide mid neck. Dropped immediately. Middle of front shoulder was an absolute mess, unfortunately couldn't save any meat from the front shoulder or neck on that side. Front of onside lung was gone as well. Forgot to get a picture of the rib cage below the scap, I'll see if I can get one yet.
The bullet did exactly what it was expected to although I am concerned with the amount of meat loss moving forward. On the other hand I'm used to killing them with archery equipment so maybe I just need to expect that.
