Another buck falls to the 6 XC

[Roe]

Not really a big deal as any bullet with this placement would have dropped the deer.
But it was a nice, soft stalk that finished with an ok buck.
Hope you enjoy!

Decent buck for a Roe, nice hunt. My son shot 2 while he was stationed in Germany about the same size.

Good for him to get out! I hear the bureaucracy in getting a hunting license can be quite daunting compared to what I'm used to from home or in the US.

I built my 6XC when brass & dies were tough to find..Tubb was building the only dies out there...brass was reformed 22-250...my first die set was from Lee...now they are quite popular...brass is still Norma & Tubb's Norma stamped...I use an 8 twist Pac Nor 27" heavy varmint tube..s/shot Savage action..4200 Tactical 6-24 scope...strictly a table gun for LR p/dogs weighing in at +16#..great accurate cartridge..easy to load...H4895...H4350 & V100 are my powders..much more effiecient than the 243 Win burning 8-9 more grs of powder...

fully agree with you, .243 case geometry is horrible (body ,shoulder) in relation to the 6XC,22-250 is exactly the same sh.....

Enjoyable look at a different kind of hunting than normally found in the U.S.

That sure is a tiny deer. Also loved seeing those pheasants taking off. Reminder of days long ago and gone by.

Certainly got my heart going. My first impulse was "no way that deer is moving..." before I understood it was pheasants...
