Beautiful shooting. I love that long wait and the gong getting rung. Thanks for the video.

I can't imagine waiting ten seconds or so to hear that I hit the target. :

Appears that bullet was really keyholeing. I bet it would smart to get it with a sideways bullet that big.

Only for a little while.

I'll stick with a .308 round versus the .338 round.... up to 1,000 Meters. Less recoil and ouch involved, with more time staying on target through the shot. A 30-06 can out perform the .308 but still has recoil a beginner can handle.
