The Winchester 1894 in .32-40 getting it done.

[David LaPell]

Tonight the most recent old timer of mine, I just got it about three weeks ago, an 1894 Winchester in .32-40 got it done tonight. Shot this 5 point buck at about 50 plus yards, went a couple hundred yards, bleeding like a stuck pig all the way in the snow before he gave up the ghost. Not bad for an old gun made in 1909.

Good evening and Congratulations !
Happily you had a nice white ground cover to help track him down.
Did you smack him in the neck ?

Excellent, well done.

Awesome! What kind of ammo did you use?

Way to (re)break in a rifle!

Yes, he didn't give me much of a shot so I took him in the neck, little off the spine but he was bleeding bad from where I did get him. Just shows how tough whitetails really are.

I used my handloads, 170 grain Hornady JSP with 19.0 grains of IMR 4198.

Hard to beat IMR 4198. Good job, nice deer, beautiful rifle.

Sounds great. That's the same power level of my .30-30 boolit loads: 17 grains IMR 4759/Lee C309-170-RF.

Aw, come on! You need a .338-378 super whiz-bang mega-magnum with a 30 inch barrel to kill a deer....dontcha know?

Nice job!
