    So on opening morning in MI of the firearms deer season this old boy chased a doe out of the swamp and ran broadside 25 yards from my stand, I missed this same buck with an arrow the previous Sunday with an arrow standing in exactly the same spot! Not often do you get a chance at a do over when hunting!
    Also I got the .450 Bushmaster build and up and running just in time- a member here was nice enough to donate me some .458 cast boolits at right around 320 grains- I sized them to .452 and PC’d and gas checked them- had about a dozen of them- sighted in with 7 had very tight group at 50 yards and had 5 left- a pinch of lill’ gun and they worked wonderfully! These cast boolits from a Gould mold are the only ones I e had any sort of accuracy with in this particular 450 AR.

    Ad Reipublicae his Civitatum Foederatarum Americae, ego sum fortis et libero. Ego autem non exieris ad impios communistarum socialismi. Ora imagines in vestri demented mentem, quod vos mos have misericordia, quia non.

    To the Republic of these United States of America, I am strong and free. I will never surrender to godless communist socialism. Pray to images in your demented mind, that you will have mercy, because i will not.

    Well done! Was it a pass through?
    You can miss fast & you can miss a lot, but only hits count.

    No it was not a pass through; somewhere in the off side shoulder which was like a bag of broken glass I think what remained of the boolit is somewhere in the snow, as bad as I like to find and keep them it was 12 degrees when I dressed him out so speed was of the essence, also cause it was so cold and going to be I broke my traditional at home butchering cause when they freeze solid it’s a lot of work with a toddler and a girl in sports time is not something I have in abundance so off to a trusted butcher shop he went where they let him hang .

    Great shooting , several years ago I had a second chance at a scrub buck that I misses twice with a bow . Then on opening morning of muzzleloader season here he came to a different stand , I told him under my breath that I was all out of carbon sticks and razor blades today .
