My First 350 Legend Kill
Posted: Tue Nov 17, 2020 5:35 am
Killed my first 350 Legend deer yesterday evening with Winchester 150gr Extreme Point ammo.
Big doe, about 20 yards, walking directly away from me. Rifle height was about 20 feet above. Impact was about 8 or so inches behind her shoulder and took out about three inches of her spine. Exited just to the left of her sternum and I did not recover the bullet. She dropped right there, obviously. Chest cavity was pretty much scrambled, but the heart was intact.
Taking out the spine really doesn’t tell much about the ammo; a 22lr through the spine would work also, but she was dead within seconds due to the overall trauma.
She’ll hang and age for a week or so, then the cutting begins!
