WT doe. .243 win pushing a 95gr Combined Technologies (NBT) 2750 at the muzzle. Lung shot at 80 yds. Good blood and lung fragments at location she was shot. Left a blood trail Stevie wonder could follow. Took this one to processer and didn't hang around to look at internal damage. Feel pretty confident saying it was enough. Dead within 15 seconds after about a 50 yd run.

First deer with my 22” barrel Howa Mini 6 ARC. 108 ELDM handloads 2675 FPS.

Doe was 250 yards. Double lung pass through with good entry and exit holes.

I’ll probably hunt with this little rifle exclusively. I watched the hit and exactly where the deer ran back in the woods.

My daughter took her first deer (a doe) this weekend. Since she is not an experienced shot, I gave her my Savage 6ARC 110 with a barrel cut down to 18." The Hornady 108g eldm load did just fine at about 2450fps at impact. Double lung pass through.
