Oh yeah, I asked nitwit several months back, what his favorite load
Was for his JBMR. And said that's
His favorite, so that's what I went with, And my Rifle likes it, and where I hunt, 50yrds is the max
Distance. It flat out it too him

Thank you, yes they are nice rifles
Built like a tank and I have had no
Issues with mine.
Well done, is that your largest BP buck?
I love to see guys carry a BP rig in regular season. When I do many people I meet do not believe it

Glad I saw the pic. I usually only check the hunting section to see what members have taken and read their harvest stories.

Yes, my largest BP Buck, it your confident in your equipment, no reason why not, now hunting in
Rain maybe a different story, I don't
Because, way I hunt is ground blind
No top, and you get wet, and so will
Your rifle. That's just me though

congrats!
Very Nice buck, Congrats!! I shoot the same load combo in my T/C Cherokee and was debating if I should use it or the 50 Cal Lyman this deer season in Pa... I wasn't sure if a .440 RB had enough energy to make a clean kill on a Buck at 50 yards. Seeing your post has definitely helped with my decision!! Congratulations again

Trouble with that load, this deer was
Shot at 40yrd. Slightly quartering away, and at a slight downward slope, great penetration, it busted the
Ribs on the opposite left side but I couldn't find the Ball, found no exit hole, in the hide
Son took a metal detector (no detection at all so I don't know where
It went, I'm no expert by no means
I do know that load flat out put it to him. Went maybe 30 to 40 yards
And piled up.
Thanks for the compliments Sir.
