So -- details please.

What was the load behind the accubond, and what was the fpsMV?
What are the barrel specs?
What is the scope/reticle?
What does that bullet look like now?




MV FPS was around 2800 using the 165 gr. Accubond--factory Kimber barrel --
Scope is a Zeiss Rapid-Z 600..
The bullet was hammered...will try to get a photo..mushroomed well..would guess it retained 60% plus of its weight..looked very similar to a partition ...

The rifle is 4 years old..she has used it on whitetail, mule deer and now elk..
For Antelope she seems to prefer the 22-250...which used to be my rifle.. --she actually shoots the 22-250 even better ..however she did mention to me she wants to go with the next time I shoot one of my 300's to see what the recoil is like..think she is making a play on another one of my rifles..

One item I recently purchased was a Primos trigger activated shooting stick..helped her a ton as the bipod is not high enough to get over the sage brush and higher grass we have this year as a result of ample July and August rains..
