At my house. Have feeder and Food plot here. Iced in so couldn't go to River Swamp. Glad I had to stay home.

JP, great kill,meat in the freezer! How far did he go after the shot?

Awesome! I didn't get a chance to shoot a buck with my 6.8 this year, but I was able to shoot a doe. The 6.8 is my go-to stalking/thick woods gun.

Frank, I Killed a 5 point early in season and didn't go anywhere (Lung Shot). This one was walking and I shot him through both shoulders and he still went about 20 yards. Haven't seen that much damage to bone in about 50 yrs. of hunting. The 110 Accu-bond is my deer round period. Was hoping to recover the bullet, but went through both shoulders.

Don't get any better then that.

I saw some of those 110 Accubond's at Bass Pro the other day and passed because they were pretty expensive. Maybe I need to reconsider.

Heck yeah!!! Logan is out right now, waiting to hear that shot!!!!

Tenn Jeep, Shooters Pro Shop has them occasionally for around 15 dollars for 50 (projectiles only). They call them overruns. There are expensive otherwise. A lot of people like the 100 grain also. I have some I loaded that are super accurate, but haven't tried them on a deer.

About 100 yds.

About 100 yds.

That's great energy for the range to go through. Confirms the 6.8's stellar reputation. Jealous, very jealous. Well done!
