That's beautiful.

Good looking rifle and deer. Those are about the best eating size deer out there.

Got a little place in KS. Pretty bad drought last few years and the river was about dry last summer. Had some beavers move in last fall and they managed a few dams on my place. Not sure what is happening below my place but have some very nice water backed up now. Sort of nice to see them there...

Put a whoopin on that cow. No need to worry about meat spoilage at those temps lol. Glad I watched till the end. That sled worked pretty well.

I'd be interested in responses too. I'd think base of the neck would work without tearing up breasts. Seems ideal for the small calibers.

May want to take a couple different patch materials with you. I tend to go with a looser fitting ball since I reload on hunts without swabbing between shots. You'll have a great time. Nothing like shooting the old style rigs.

I shot through a few elk with the 370 maxiballs. They penetrate till tomorrow and disrupted enough stuff to kill well. Kicking mothers though and actually prefer larger roundballs these days.

The gentleman I bought it from wouldn't even discount it with that obvious defect. But we stay in touch and he is a true gentleman.

Mike, Its hard to tell in the photo but that uncut milo was dang near as high as their backs. Once he got that close I made a quick call on shot placement and it worked out. I do normally shoot for lungs. Appreciate your post.

Hello, I have a pint of twice filtered bear lard. Its 2 years old, pure white, but older than I would use for cooking. Good for every other application though. If anyone has a few hardened up .570 roundballs, I'd like to give them a try. I'll have 2 bear tags this fall and planning on doing a...

As this topic wanders here and there, question for the more experienced guys. I've been shooting 100% lead projectiles in .530 and .570. Typically I top out at 90-100 grains of Swiss ffg in both rifles. Most shots on whitetails and mule deer are under 50 for me though as long as 110 at times...

My shots range from 20 yards to maybe 110 yards. Mostly whitetails, mule deer and antelope. I've been shooting about 100 grains of ffg Swiss. I do it mainly to have a bit flatter trajectory to 110 yards but it is also quite accurate. I'm sure 55 would work well and should be very mild in...

Beautiful deer, looks perfect. The ones here at home are looking a bit scuffed up.

Shot my buck in about the same spot with the same result. Seems to calm them right down. Nice looking rifle and buck,

Have to love that kind of performance. A sane amount of powder and a big lead slug. Be a good load to sit waterholes for bears with.

I guess maybe I don't run them hard enough or perhaps the Hornady balls are softer lead? I've found a couple 58 balls the last 4 years. They do keep killing stuff and things never go far though.

Always wanted to try a 62. Any load details?

Great pics and story. Nice shot to as an 80 yard neck shot isn't a gimme. My daughter started out fishing with me and progressed into a very good hunter. Hoping to get her out again next year. Nice parenting on display there.

I think it was a factory blem or something lol. I've been shooting lefthanded now about 12 years and its working for me pretty good.
