First deer for .270 wsm t3 lite
« on: January 18, 2009, 04:22:30 PM »
Hi all ive been lurking on here for a while now without really posting, thought id post a pic of the first deer for my t3 lite stainless .270 wsm with a factory 150gr powerpoint.
it is a 4 point sika stag taken in the velvet here in new zealand, it was shot at about 40m an angling shot through the base of the neck, projectile was found just behind the opposite shoulder and only weighed 65 grains, am currently working up a load for both the 130gr barnes tsx, and the 140 gr accubond, with ar2209 (H4530) to you americans, any load data would be appreciated

thanks

Gary

Congrats. I have always wanted to take a deer in Velvet, but I have never had a chance. I wish you many more with your Tikka.
