[omegaman]

Well it was supposed to get broke in Sept on a Co. elk.....instead it was a NY whitetail 200lb doe. Shot was lasered 140 yds, load was 110 gr 2f 777 Barnes 290gr TMZ and a Winchester primer.High shoulder shot dropped her on the spot and a complete pass thru.Scope was a Nikon Omega used the second circle and shot the deer as it was walking thru an opening in the brush

WOW!! that's a nice size doe and a heck of a shot. It sounds like you really have that rifle tuned in good.

Omegaman:
That is one heck of a doe(200 Lbs.). It must have been quite old. In 2003 we had a spwecial Firearm antlerless season here in Michigan & I jumped at the chance to see what my 6.5x55 Swedish mauser would do to a whitetail. It worked great, but my doe was aged @ 5-1/2 jears old by the DNR & she only weighed 140 Lbs. dressed. Do you hunt in an agricultural area??? I have seen a few does that might have been 200 Lbs. & they are HUGE!!!! In fact many years ago I saw a whitetail doe along I-75 near Roscommon that I SWEAR was the largest Whitetail that I have ever seen. I would guess between 300 & 350 Lbs.

Live weight going by chest circumfrence which was 41" and equates to approximately 204 lbs live weight

omegaman,
Congrats on the whitetail, sounds like that rifle is set up quite nicely. Too bad you didn't get a chance to test it out West, but sounds like the freezer will be full!
