Went up to the farm saturday to help the owners draft cattle. Went for a walk with the 243.
Saw a group of 4 bucks and spikers about 500m away so stalked in closer. Got to within 200m and took the shot.

Factory Remington 80gr psp
DPT suppressor.
Interesting thing about this load....
I Zeroed it at 100m about 4 years ago ....then shot it at 200m. Was surprised to find it shot to the same POI!!! Figured it was still rising at 100 and starting to drop at 200... Checked it 3 -4 times since and the poi is within 1/4 Inch.
Went and bought the shops stock of that batch of ammo ( about 300rds). Still have about 180 left.
