Super trip again Mick, well done, glad you enjoyed our weather, it does make for good deer hunting though. A very nice Fallow deer your son got there with that lovely 264 WM model 70. Fallow make superb eating, especially if shot without knowing about it. They are considered second rate in Victoria as they are not as hard to hunt as Sambar deer, however they are better eating and easier to carry out and keep cool, plus you can often carry them out whole which means you get a lot of different cuts compared to Sambar which are usually carried out in sections as they are a shit load bigger. Great to see that you got another filthy cat as well, disgusting slimey creatures. Super well done and thanks for posting. Go the Woodleigh bullets.

Used them on the young buff.
I run hydros in most cals I use. The 7mm , 308 , 35, all work well on buff and scrubbers.
The 7mm hydro works well at 7-08 and 7x57 velocities. I try to get plenty of bone with the hydros. they penetrate very deep. Ive only recovered two. A 9.3 286gr out 9.3 x74 and a 225 35 out of a 358 win. Both out of buff bulls.
Cheers Mick

Thanks Mick
What's your 7x57 velocity for the hydro?
I have a 7-30 Waters contender barrel, was thinking about trying the hydro in the single shot pistol.
I think I'm getting 2550 with a 150gr nosler, would have to check my notes. Guessing I'd get a bit more with this bullet.
Cheers

Both the 08 and 57 around 2700 maybe a bit more.
Mate runs them out of a 7mm rem mag it kills well on buff. cheers mick

On some forums, people would casually immediately ask "Oh where was that?", then get piffed when you tell them to get lost.
They just don't look right ... like a pencil rubber on the end of a prick.
(American lingo pun double meaning intended )Mick, some good times and fun trips you had in a variety of places.
