My Muley Buck With Thunder

[xphunter]

My new 7mm Dakota XP-100 finally drew blood earlier in the month on a management mule deer. Shot was under 200 yards, from a double kneeling position using Bog Gear with their now discontinued PSR Top. 175 ELD-X put the buck down in less than 40 yards from the shot (which has been kind of the same thing happens every time-so far). I quartered the buck in the field, so I do not have an autopsy report like some give here in great detail. Enjoyable day for sure. This XP shoots stupid good. When stack shots on top of each other from 750 yards on out, it kind of make you feel good about your XP!
Chris Rhodes/Bayside Custom Gunworks built a hummer on this one!

Nice looking 4 x 4. Why is it a "management buck"?

Nice buck! I had the 7mmBR version for many years hoping to take it antelope hunting when I lived in NV. ; never drew a tag after I had the gun and had a load for it.

(Of course, I do not miss that white stuff on the ground)

First time young teen shooting the 7 Dak for the very first time ever (500 yards)


Where his first shot hit at 500 yards.

I didn't see that howitzer brake on there, that's cheating!

Holland's Radial Baffle brakes are among the best. They are my favorite!

2nd round of drop confirmations at 750 yards. Move to 29 seconds on watch the impact appear-Lot of mirage that day.

At a 1000 yards. Move to 36 seconds on the vid-Same day.

I was a happy camper!

Neat hand cannon, neat cartridge and a really nice buck. Congrats on all!

I have 4 XP's and they are all crazy accurate with the right handload. My .250 Savage repeater is my go-to deer pistol but I rechambered my 7BR to 7-08 and it works good with short bullets and it has taken deer also.

That's no management deer in my book and I think you deserve congratulations.
