Default RE: Recovered SST

ORIGINAL: skeeter 7MM

FYI, below is a recovered 250gr SST from a Large Mulie Doe I shot on Saturday morning.

Details:
Savage 10 II
Smokeless Powder - 43.5gr IMR 4759
Bullet 250gr SST
Sabot MMP HPH24
Primer 209W
Ave MV 2352 FPS
Range: 170 yards
Broadside standing shot, double shoulder on large Mulie Doe(200 +). I took the high shoulder shot on the account of the terrain, if she made the coulee it would have meant her coming up in pieces as it was steep and deep, being she was near the edge I figured the likely hood was pretty good she'd tumble into it and end up at or near the bottom.Though I must admit I really wanted to see what the bullet would do a little further out when flung from the savage under a smokeless charge with this shot location. Where I ML hunt for whitetails I have a couple spots where such a shot is a requirement.

The bullet was recovered in the opposite hide and seperated while digging it free but as you can see it peeled completely back. The bullet broke both scapulas, mess of the lungs and produce a DRT result.






This was unbonded SST with supplied sabot right? Nice shooting. You shot for the scapulas so thebullet would expand right? Chap Gleason
