I have larger caliber rifles, but wanted to use the SPS in .308 this year for hunting. I got my chance last week when I was able to take this 5x6 bull elk here in Montana. I used a 165 gn. Barnes X bullet out of a LC Match case with 45 gn. of Varget with a CCI 200 primer. The animal was quartering toward me. I hit the front shoulder and recovered the bullet under the skin at the opposite hind quarter. Full length penetration with little weigth loss. Approximate range- 150 yards.
This photo was taken after the pack-out to the nearest road.
Next photo will be either a Muley or Whitetail buck.
