Finally got to put it to the test

Well the deer have started moving again. Able to take 2 deer with the Rouge. Man what power. First one was a small doe shot at 70 yards. Bullet passed through and she ran about 50 yards with a good blood trail. 2nd one was a 6 point that normally I would have passed on if I had anything but the Rouge but I had a camera mounted to the scope an wanted to get video. I will post the link to it in the hunting section. The bullet on that one entered the shoulder and stopped under the skin between the 2nd and 3rd rib from the back. A slightly quartering shot. This was at 55 yards. Recovered the 178 hollow point only to find it started to cave in on itself instead of expanding. I will post pictures of it when I get back to the truck (in the stand right now).

Just made sure the gun was set for the 140gr hollow point so maybe be able to try it out before a go back to work.

Not a lot of spread, but with a hunk of pipe like that, I don't think it's needed. Just tumbling is going to mix things up pretty good.

And I love the sound of the shot (camera mount, probably). Makes me picture that big slug taking a very cartoonish spring from a diving board before dropping down onto the deer like a mortar.

Yes it is a scope mounted camera. It's a hat cam from basspro modified with the scope attachment from a predator light. Down side it not great video if you zoom in and you can't see what you are recording only having to trust that you have it set up right. As you can tell it needed to be adjusted down a little and don't forget to stay on the animal after the shot.
