We got our first snowfall here in Nortwestern Ontario , Always a good time to head out and hunt deer. It didn’t take too long I was only in the woods about an hour when A doe gave me a nice broadside shot at about 50 yards. I took my shot . She didn’t react like she was hit but the shot felt good .I gave her 15-20 minutes and went to check .sure enough blood trail. It was a strong blood trail on white snow not hard to follow. She made it about 60 yards .
The cast boolit I was using was the Lee C 430-310 RF . Cast from water quenched wheel weights with a BHN of about 22 . This was launched at 1600 FPS from my 444 marlin . Sort of a midrange load for the marlin. It punched clean through the ribs breaking a rib on both entrance and exit , This was my first deer with my home cast boolits in a Centerfire rifle . I am very happy with the performance.
I have a couple pics but they aren’t uploading I will try again later
