Alot of First in one day!..

[43PU]

I went hunting opening morning, and as im a Meat eater not a horn hunter I shot this little button buck just after sunrise. Load was Lee 429 310 with GC over 18.5 grn of IMR 4227
First hand gun kill First cast kill

IT was great
(and yes it is a head shot)

It was a great morning

[white eagle]

very nice
that will be some very fine venison

[PS Paul]

Sweet. How close/long? Looks as if the headshot did the trick.

[43PU]

he was around 25 feet (i was in a stand) it was with a Ruger Super Black Hawk new model 5.5 inch barrel. and yes White Eagle, he was amazing, i had him that evening, i cut some back straps up in about 1/2 inch slices pounded it flat and seasoned it and breaded it and fried it with some onions and mushrooms....

Congrats on the tasty critter and on your couple of first. What are those legs next to him (story)?

We have 180 acres in ky, I took 2 of my friends with me we were in our stands by 5:45 am I shot mine around 6:44 am about 10 min later one of my friends shot and about 15 min after that our other friend shot.. We had 3 deer on the ground and gutted by 8am and we finished eating at the Waffle House by 9:30 it was a good morning

What took you so long.....great job, I'm guessing you're hooked on handgun hunting. Backstraps with mushrooms & onions, I hate you!!

Hope you had some taters and gravy to go with it. lol Sound like a huge all around success.

[pmer]

Sounds like a great time.

Great shot and great dinner!

Great shot and good deer. I am like you a meat hunter

[44man]

I do not agree with head shots but have nothing bad to say about your shot. You did good and have meat.
But 4227??? That stuff is VERY temperature sensitive in the .44. I would go to 21.5 gr of 296. Good boolit, the 310.

[Grendel99]

I have to agree with 44man about the headshots. Too much can go wrong, especially with a pistol even being that close. Deer getting there lower jaw shot off die a very slow painful death. Nice job otherwise and nice pistol.

I wish I could have used another powder but my sporting good store has only received 200 lbs of powder this year 4227 was all they have
