i just got back from the woods. i killed another one with the 40 SMR, sorry Jim it ain't a Kibler LOL but i have killed several with your great rifles. this deer came out the same spot as the last one i killed 2 Fridays ago. 80yd shot again. it was just cracking daylight; i could barely see good enough to shoot. 62gr. of 3f goex and a round ball hit in the right spot is all it takes, dropped like a sack of potato's,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Well done! It's another month for us until firearms are allowed. Just got back from the hunting hut with my crossbow, saw some Turks but no deer!

Congrats on a fine deer. Indeed, hit them in the right spot and watch them drop.

Looks like you cut the jugular. Well done. I think that about settles the adequacy of a 40 for deer.

Was considering the other day that, after I hopefully get a couple deer in the freezer, I might give my .40 a try on some of the small doe we have around here. That is as small as I'd go in caliber but, with what I've seen from an accuracy standpoint for that caliber, I was pretty confident she'll get er done. With the season you're having i am now completely confident. Congrats on the fine table meat.
