It's not the shot....
I was impressed with how fast the deer dropped dead. That 338 hit him hard. Of course a long shoot cold like that is always something to enjoy.
I also have a good group at 1250 meters with an M-21. Shot a 10.5 in group of ten rounds in 1977 at Bragg. 950 then would have been no sweat. I did it with a 3 x 9 Leatherwood and figures the hold off after 1000 and 1150 meters. I had a good spotter to boot.
I knew Bob would have something to put in. Wish I still shot that good. Only been able to muster 788 yds with a Tang sight. on my Sharps. But that's all the range had that day. Hell shot several oranges at 300 meters routinely with My 21. they were always shot in rapid succession.
