(Allso posted in the Double rifles forum)
Yesterday I had the luck to shoot a nice Roe Buck with my Gebr. merkel 375 H&H Flanged, loaded with W. Romey and 300 grains Woodleigh RN.

The distance was app 35 meters and the bullet entered tru the left front and exited at the last rib on the other side. The exit hole was app 4-5 centimeters

I admit that I was heavily over armed for our small deer and the summer hunt. It would be perfectly acceptable to use a .222 with a 50 grains bullet. However this was my first outing with the Merkel and I just couldent resist the temptation to try it out.
As allways I harly noticed the shot, just focused on the buck just a few meters away. The Buck ran just 15 or 20 meters and was dead. There were a lot of lung fragments in the blood so I knew that it would be lying close to the spot.

The summer here is extreemly dry, so walking is difficult with all dry leaves and small branches making a lot of noise, but I found the roebuck sleeping and saw it at maybe 10 meters , but couldent shoot , the Buck noticed something was wrong, and started of but unsure of what had disturbed him, he turned back to see me at maybe 35 meters distance, I knew that would be the only chance so the shot fell in this very moment.

The bullet performed as could be expected, maybe 1/3 of the heart is missing, and the exit hole is acceptable. So now we will dream about something black and bigger.
