Remington mod. 788 chambered in. 243 pushing 100 gr. SPBT Sierra King over 34.7 gr. Of 4064. Tack driving accuracy and drops them where they stand. - CASTER
In regards to shooting safety.Until you are ready to fire, keep your booger hook off the bang switch.
Savage 325c in .30-.30. Which is fitting as Michigan probably has the most .30-.30 of any state mostly of the model 94 and 336 variety though. No cast bullets yet but, eventually.

Life is so much better with dogs!
My 12 year old son will be using an H&R rifle in .357 Mag loaded with 158XTP (if I don't have a chance to get a good load with the SWC boolits I recently ordered before hand). I will be carrying a 20ga slug shooter alongside him. A long shot where we hunt is 80 yards.
17 inch model 94 marlin rob applegate built for me in 475 linebaugh.
Same gun I used since pap took me out when I was 12 yrs old . My little rem model 600 in 35 rem with an old weaver 2.5x sitting on top . Love that gun and all those years of memories that are attached to it .
If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!
Ruger blackhawk and ruger 77/357 magnum. 158 grain loads for both.
Ruger Mini 30 7.62x39 with some 125 gr PPU round nose soft points. Haven't tried cast in it yet but plan to. Got my first deer with it when I was 12, haven't got anything in the 20 odd years since, maybe it has some luck.

No deer, elk, 5x6 bull, 444 Marlin, 265 Hornady, 265 Hornady FN, bullet did come apart, small piece of core under hide, no major bones hit , 1" behind shoulder blade-under hide about 5th rib, 45 yards in timber
It's not very exciting , but it's tried and true win m 70 3006 . I completely trust it .
Ruger mark ll in 308 with leupold scope. Dead on.
Remington 700 .243 is what I use most of the time. But thinking I might try out my Remington model 8 in 35rem.
Marlin 1895 45-70 with cast 405s over H4198. Either 41 or 44 mag rugers. Cast wfns over H110

Kimber 84M Classic/ Zeiss 2.5-10X50 T* scope in .260 Remington. Neck shots up to 200 yards. I will have access to a "new to me" hunting place this year and I hope to take a deer with my Winchester M94 30-30 with my own cast boolits, Lee C309-170F or Accurate 31-155B.

Want to use my Yugo M48, 2.5 Leopold 'scout scope' and a 205 grain cast boolets for a NE whitetail. Then if I get a chance for a second one, my Shaw barreled 358 Win and a NOE 35-230 fn. Only 9 more days till 'Deer Camp', wouldn't omega fast enough !

Since I ran out of time I will probably use a Rem M SEVEN KS in 350 Rem Mag; 247 gr FN @ 2,000 fps. or Rem SEVEN FS in 7-08 7mm Thor at 2,150 fps; these have somewhat standardized loads and are sighted in.
If time permits maybe a Win 94 in 38-55 or would like to try a 458 WM with a 405 FN @ 1,300 fps.
12 yr daughter will use her Kimber 84 Mont in 243 win.

91-50 Mosin with a 180 gr boolit over some 2400, I scoped it with a 2 power Simmons pistol scope on a scoutmount for my daughter but she lost interest, so its my new doe poker.
AR15 goes bang, AK47 goes bang, Mosin goes boom...
