Young lady is a killer

Came home from a family reunion with the girlfriend and saw a groundhog in the field across from the house. She said she wanted to try and shoot him but the only ammo I had loaded and zeroed was the 110 Vmax in my 270. Got her set up on the bipod (out of the bedroom window) at about 200 and told her to aim middle back as he was laying down facing away from us. At the shot he popped up out of the hole and then disappeared. He ended up either lurching or flying from his hole he was in to the other one he dug next to it face first. She's shot a number of deer and a grey fox but this was her first varmint. I'll be setting up the 8tw 223 with 69 TMK for her to use for the rest of the summer because she enjoyed this a lot.

Gun later shot a raccoon at about 40yds on his way to the chicken coop. The 110 Vmax is the most "killingest" bullet I've loaded.

That whistle pig might as well be a damn beaver. I've had great results with 53 grain vmax in factory superformance on dozens of groundhogs, fox & coyotes. Those tmk's should be vicious on varmints.
Also love to see lefty bolt guns in the wild

I loaded the 110 vmax for deer of all things, one of the two I shot this year was the most dramatic wounding I've ever seen but neither one moved from standard chest shots.

Hopeful on the tmk for deer and varmints this year, the gun is a right handed howa 1500 so I won't hunt with it much, but I'm trying to get her behind it for a couple hunts instead of her 7-08.

Born left handed and thankfully left eye dominant. I have a condition that affects the right side of my body, mainly my leg but also my hand a little. if that condition was still there but I was right eye dominant that would have really sucked. Both my main guns are lefty ruger americans, the other being a 243. Looking at getting a tikka lefty in 243 with the new 8 twist sometime

Cross dominant would be a real curse. I'm beginning to call myself a left handed tikka collector. I'm looking to try out some tmk's and eldm's on deer as well this year

Good job. Groundhog didn't stand a chance with that 110 Vmax load!

Nice shooting!
