    Late last season I hit a deer high with a too hard cast HP, so had a bit of a tracking job in front of me. I didn’t have anything to mark the specks of blood a few feet apart, and found myself...

    New Vaquero Deer

    45 yds, GT 255hp @ 925fps. First deer with this gun. First shot through the spine. Recovered bullet is from the finishing shot and was in the skin under his jaw.

    Fred, I studied these extensively when deciding how to have him HP my mold. They really helped and I ended up with a boolit that performed exactly as I’d hoped.

    Yes both groups around 2”; I’m not done with load development for either yet. The 32 throats were .309, reamed to .3125. The 45 throats were around .451, reamed to .4525.
