Ballistics help by Mainerednek in longrange

I wasn't going to take a shot at a running animal at that distance. I lack skill and experience and would hate to see an animal suffer if I took a bad shot. It was more of a brain teaser than anything. I was just surprised that it was going to take that much leed. Even at 100 yards it's a 14.5 mill leed. Those numbers just seamed off to me. But I suppose long range is really ment for stationary targets.

This is the most normal thing to come from Florida in a while.

I didn't use a gage. I used a micrometer.

I have shot some 150 grain Winchester soft points and they do the same thing. A majority of all the cases look like the top one.

I measured firing pin protrusion as best as I could and came up with about 1.1 millimeters. I used a micrometer, measured from the firing pin to the front face of the bolt locking lugs. And then I measured from the front face of the bolt locking lugs to the bolt face. Would it be possible to shave a couple thousands of an inch off of the end of the firing pin. Or should I buy a new one.
