Still using factory Hornady DGX ammo , with some woodies loaded. Did the dry creeks hoping for some buff action.
Found a small mob and the dry season winds spooked them so a couple of long shots had two cows on the ground. Pretty happy with the projectile performance and power of the cartridge. Few pics and continued on hunting.
On the return thru the springs I found another mob and got in nice and close with two quick kills on another couple of cows. Heres a few pics.
fist cow 140m

Good country ,rub

old wallows

another good cow

Continued on hunting and going over ground I had already covered I put up a good bull of a wallow. All happened pretty quick with a instinctive running shot at 30m. Pole axed the bull but he regained his feet and required another finisher.
Wallow he broke from

First bull with the Merkel

Looking for my rino I lost 5 weeks earlier, I found a couple of pigs. Also found the rino.

Liking the 450-400. cheers Mick
