First deer taken with a cast boolit for me. Also the first taken with a handgun.
I would like to thank all those who contribute here that made this year a success for me. My first attempt at casting nearly 25 years ago ended in failure and a sound conviction that "it couldn't be done" with cast boolits. My what I have learned since!
Ruger Redhawk 44 mag., Lee 429-310 boolit over 22gr. H-110, FWFL for loob. I had prepared for shots up to 100 yards and could hit a 6" dot with every shot, first to last in the cylinder. This opportunity presented itself at at mere 30 yards and was a chip shot. About as close to a "textbook" kill as I have ever acomplished.
I have another tag to fill and will try to make another first next weekend by taking a buck with my 1893 Marlin 38-55 shooting, what else, CAST BOOLITS!
