The Pride Fowler I was referring to use to be on my Whisper AR. The scope on this gun is a Leupold Mark 4 4.5 x 14 LR/T. It has a custom reticle setup for 500 yards and turrets setup in 50 yard increments to 1000 yards. It also has 100 MOA of adjustment. All of this is calibrated for a 168 A-max @ 2660. I use the drop compensation in the scope as aiming points for the subs. @ 7 power the 400 yard dot = 100 yards. The 500 yard dot = 150 yards. It's not a perfect set up but I just got everything setup right before season.
The bullet. I had planned on shooting a 240 Outlaw. It was stable from 3 yards out to 100 yards and shot great out of my 10 twist. I went out to verify the drop at 125,150,175, and 200 and they started destabilizing at 150. So the 308 gets the 225 just a few days before season. The bullet hit in the crevice between the shoulder and the neck. It opened up and turned sideways as it went through the lung. It entered the liver backwards and exited at an angle. The bullet hit the back ham but did not enter. I found the bullet in the yard where I gutted the deer a couple of days later. Looks like the petals opened up and then folded back when it tumbled backwards. Here are some entry and exit pics of the liver



This is the bullet.


The bullet acts different in a 10 twist than in a 8 twist. The 10 twist gun tumbles much faster.
