Good going! I have one with a 14" barrel, but haven't done any load development for it.
Good Shooting.
Rusty, I like your sling. I'm still using a piece of nylon rope. Were your boolits water dropped or air cooled? Did you get much expansion?
Nice one!
Congratulations ! Does the heart good to be able to take home the fruit of the labor. I trust many a meal is enjoyed and the tale recounted with happiness.

Good work with a nice 'Tender!

Inspirational,I've been gunning for a corn cruncher with that exact set up but have only seen small does and bucks smaller than the one I already got with bow. Thank you for posting assuming with the neck shot it was bang flop? I'd like more details on your ingenious sling .
Very nice and heat up the skillet!
Nice one Rusty!

I am not crazy my mom had me tested
Theres a fine line between genius and crazy .. I'm that line
and depending on the day I might just step over that line !!!
Great shot , still waiting to use my 357 Mag. tender on one . A sling is the best way I found to carry them .

Good eating there
Paper targets aren't your friends. They won't lie for you and they don't care if your feelings get hurt.
That sling is actually a leather one ... I think it is an Unkle Mikes ... made for a muzzleloader !! It wraps nicely around the buttstock and laces up from the bottom for a snug fit. The front of the sling just goes over the barrel and it has leather whangs that cinch it up so it stays in place. I sewed some advantage camo coverings for the barrel and stock to cover and shine the deer might see. Never found that bullet afterward. And yes Nagantguy it was a bang and she fell over instantly. ... kicked a few times and that was the end. A fast and clean taking of the deer. I've had one steak so far and it was great. Tomorrow is meatloaf ...

Hornady308: They were aircooled right from the mould. Since they were HP'd, I wanted them to expand if they needed to. The mould was a Lyman 429244 that was hollowpointed by our own listmember Buckshot. I couldn't be more pleased with this HP boolit. Kudo's to Buckshot for his excellent work !! The proof in in my freezer ....

tell the truth, you shot that poor deer when it was tangled up in the string and stuck to that pole....
Nice shooting!
Thank you for the reply, I just got a new contender forend here from a trade to a very member and a fellow Marine !anyhow the new forend has a sling swivel already attached so now I have another option cause I'm not crazy about the way she rides in the chest rig I'm currently using.
Tony's Stocks makes a really nice forend for Contenders. Nice and wide and also long. Great for shooting off sandbags. All you need to do is ask to have a Bipod/Sling Stud installed.
Nice deer! I have about 2 more weeks until Alternative Weapons Season here in Missouri.
I will need to decide between my 6.5 x 30 JDJ (6.5 x 30-30 AI), 35 Bullberry, or 357 Maximum Contender Pistol barrels.
I have a NOE 360-180 mold for the 35's.
