Our middle grandson is 20 years old and has been an avid deer and hog hunter since he killed his first deer, when he was 12.
This deer was killed with his 1980 Remington 700 in .30-06 that I bought new and gave him several years back. This deer was shot at about 50 yards and ran about 20 yards after being shot.
This was actually a very nice sized buck for our part of central Texas but the camera angle and the fact that Mason is 6'8" tall and weighs around 340-350 lbs. makes the deer seem small! I guess that I'm now Treetop Jr...
The load consisted of:
LC 78 NM brass
CCI 200 LRP
30 gr. IMR 4895 powder
NOE SC311-171 with the large HP pin installed
Lyman .30 caliber gas check (annealed)
The alloy was 16:1 from Roto Metal
Given the damage that this combination inflicted to the lungs of this deer, I think my experimenting has paid off. Treetop
