Went doe hunting today with my new 6x47 lapua. I was a little unshure about the killing power of it on deer but i have killed them with smaller calibers. Anyway, got to the stand before daybrake,it was a great morning, and kicked out 3 deer on the way in. At about 715 a large 9pt that we have been hunting all season came 15yds from the stand, i couldnt believe it of all the times for him to showup as today was doe only. I saw a few deer in the distance but didnt want to force a shot. Then at 10;00 a large lone doe came walking down the trail at 85yds, i put the crosshairs on her shoulder grunted and BANG sent a 95gr nosler partition through her shoulder. She stumbled and started to run but piled up within 25yds. When i guted her i was suprised at the damage the 6mm slug did. It put a small hole going in but a 4in hole exiting. I now know that the little 6x47 is one deer slaying son of, a well you know.
Hope you enjoyed my hunting story.
