Nice deer and cool rifle. I have the same rifle, one I got from Simpsons. It is a tack driver with jacketed bullets. I'll have to get that mold from NOE and give it a try.
Only left handed guns are interesting!
Great shooting with a great caliber.
It would be very nice if you shared the powder and velocity of the load used to harvest this deer.
Go now and pour yourself a hot one...
Gents,
Thanks for the kind words. Same rifle in both pics. M46 Husky from Simpsons, LTD. Shoots right to POA at 150 yds with both loads below.
Load is PPU 8x57 brass necked up with one pass through Hornady dies. 44.0 gr WC846 under NOE 280-368 RNFP (285.5 gr dressed for the dance), WQWW. CCI LR primer. Nothing fancy. I get 2130 fps with Hornady 286 gr J-words and 47.0 gr of WC 846, so I suppose these are around 1950-1980 fps. Never chrono'd them. They shot well (1.5" @ 100yds) and showed no pressure signs, so I saw no need to go further.
Hope this helps.
Nice Buck congratulations
Let the LORD be magnified who take’s pleasure in the prosperity of his servant!
Great buck! What kind of tracking job did you have? I have similar bullet for my Whelen - the 360-310 Thumper. I'd love to have the chance to test it out on game.
If you live on the razor's edge and slip, you will die in two pieces
I had absolutely no issues with a blood trail. He only ran about 40 to 50 yards and laid down to pass. The bullet did a fine, fine job and no surprise it was a complete pass through. If you hit them in the boiler room with your bullet it will do the same I'm sure. In my estimation there isn't a deer out there that would stop either one of those bullets going 2000 fps, from passing all the way through unless you shot it end to end, and maybe not even then!

The 9.3x57 AKA the "potato thrower" in Europe.I shoot a 9.3x62 commercial Mauser type A sporter.
Very fine buck and equally fine rifle. I also used a 9.3mm this season with the NOE 285 gr. boolit with similar results. My buck was not as nice as yours however. I used the 9.3x74R.
