Sambar Stag 380m Video

[WhelanLad]

Lads, i finally got to put a VorTX into a critter, what better way to do it than a PB of 375meters with the 270 win!

Theres a video uploading which i will update soon, got a bunch of photos and even scored a TTSX projie!

Wanted to generate some interest as i have been bangin on about the ammo change an what not, i also answered my own Q by taking the accubondz as backup in my gun stock sleeve, un needed in the end with a 1 shot kill altho as i walked up i switched up! I like it.

Sambar Stag was Bedded up with a hind at 400m, i tried to close the gap but lost sight of them an backtracked to the ridge an took a 375m shot.

TBC....

At the end of my finger pretty much when I first seen em

Bedded down at Midday- ranged here at 376m (shot him in this position after waiting a long while for him to stand, had a smoke an text few mates about the possible happenings haha)

Rest and Camera Tripod

A Barnes Vor TX 130gr TTSX, a Remington 700 SPS and a Sambar Stag,

POE as it sat bedded

Where the TTSX ended up, Note that it did not end up sideways. this is the "far side" but didn't make the far shoulder. AND the animal is upside down

Great work, WL!!! The 270 continues to do the job with no fuss.

Good shot BTW, and glad to see the TTSX worked well for you.

We would like to see a picture of the recovered bullet once you have time.

Regards, Dave.
