[QUOTE="fairchaser, post: 5793720, member: 10373"] It was a doe because her fawn was 50 yards behind her. Wind was light. I had ranged the distance and my rifle is doped out to 600 yards. I shot this rifle and load at a target at 600 and held a three shot group of 4.5 inches. I’ve not shot a deer that far. The rifle is a browning 300 win mag A bolt with hand loaded 180 grain hornady interlocks. The scope is a vortex HST 6-24x with adjustable turrets. I had a solid rest with three points of contact. I regularly compete at 600 and 1000 yards in F Class and have an NRA High Master rating. I had the scope dialed with 8.5 minutes of elevation and the crosshairs on her shoulder broadside and stopped. Tempting but I’m not shooting does if I don’t have to. I felt comfortable with this shot. But that’s about my limit with this setup. [/QUOTE]
