6mm yew tree tlr

[bigyin]

Got some of the new yew tree 6mm 80 gn tlr bullets of Richard last week to try .
Done a load work up for my 6xc yesterday and settled on a load at 3300 ft/sec,
6 different powder weights tried and groups were all around 1/2” and a seating test tightened it even further so happy days
Shot a roe buck this morning @ 353 yards and purposely kept away from shoulder to test expansion ,bullet entered behind shoulder (between ribs) and exited right in arm pit on off side with a nice 1 1/2” exit deer went about 15 yards before dropping dead .
Next one I get il put it through scapula or front shoulder and see how much difference the extra resistance from bone makes .
Only one pic as the midges were horrendous

Good work!

I was thinking about giving these a go in my 6mm creedmoor for Fallow next season.

Nice work. Ffs don’t let some on SD read this as they think copper bullets are shite and only work to 100yds and group like a shotgun.
