Well my truck has been in the shop for a week. Was bummed as I missed hunting this morning. I thought first time in 29 years I would miss a opener. I started hunting in 64 missed 75/76 because was out of state and hunted ever since. Truck was done at 1:00 and I was in my Hunting area at 2:45 and was gutting a doe at 3:00. Gun was my Swede Mauser 6.5 made into a scout rifle. One Neck shot and venison hanging. . Luck or fate not sure but it takes the pressure off. I really love this gun some may cringe as it is not stock anymore but it sure makes a great hunting rifle. !

No guys it was not with cast it was some jacketed reloads. Shot the deer with a neck shot at 30 yards. Reloads were according to the book 2400 FPS. Accurate load using 4064 powder and a Hornady 140 grain bullet. So no it was not cast but I did shoot two last year with my 308 Encore Pistol using Cast.
