Hello from Germany!
Went out today morning at 05:30 a.m. in my ground blind where I have already got 2 winterroes. This morning it was mighty cold, about -12 degrees celcius. So I thought for myself that I won't stay long. After about 10 minutes I recognized a dark shadow in a shadow of a bush which wasn't there before. So I took my .50 deerhunter and had a look through the scope at the shadow. It was a roedoe, standing there facing me and looking. Aimed fast at the breast and made my part. After the smoke was gone I didn't see anything, but heard sound of breaking frozen snow. I waited 15 minutes and went to the place the roe was standing. When arrieving there I saw it already lying in the snow ten meters left of the hitting point. The .490 PRB's impact was in the middle of the breast, destroyed the upper part of the lounges and the heart. It got stuck in the loungs. No trespassing and no exit. so not many damage at all but a good killing effect. With a modern cal. like .308 I had shot right through the whole roe with damage in the gutting. The distance was 60 m, charge was 75grs WANO PP. The doe had 34 lps fielddressed.
