    Congrats to you and the kids. Surprising what a pistol can do at ranges you can use open sights. Got a running pig at range I thought I couldn't do, 165 gr TC light load 40SW, end to end pass through. Wanted to try the BO with 145 gr cast but alas, no pigs on the feeder. Friend that invited me said the yotes got the remains, he figures it was 150-160# - I have no idea. He saw deer (couple doe) at the feeder but the 300# pig chased them off, he couldn't get a shot - he really wanted that pig! Tried for 2 yotes @ 300+ with his 223, didn't have his ears on and muzzle was inside the box stand. Won't do that again. Been having too much fun with the BO, don't even have anymore ammo loaded for the 308. Still got to ingotize 70# of isocore before it gets too cold.
    Whatever!

    Nice pictures. I look up to you for starting your children, you will enjoy their company when you get older, they can drag deer better than old people.

    OOPS! I gave a small piece of misinformation. I said the 45 boolit was a MiHec H&G 68. It was actually a MiHec 454423 w/small HP.
    That is a significantly different boolit. I corrected my mistake in the OP, but wanted to point it out in case it was important to any one.

    Thanks again for all the kind words!

    I was actually wondering how you HP'ed a 68.

    I didn't ask though because I was distracted by that MONSTER of a buck. What did it score, anyway?


    edit: And how old was it? Looks ancient.

    Really love the 454423. That is one sexy boolit! It's especially cool in a 1911. I still can't believe how well it will feed.
    Buck was 163 and change. Don't know about his age.

    Congrats to you and your kids!

    I was not an AR fan until my department issued me one for patrol use. After getting trained on how to use it, I'm a fan although not a rabid one. They have amazing flexibility for cartridge choice which is it's biggest asset IMO.

    Very nicely done on several accounts, you and those youngsters are indeed truly blessed. A word of warning; this won't be your last CB kill. By now I'll bet an oatmeal raisin cookie you're already looking forward to your next CB kill. It gets worse, only J-words along on my last hunt were in my "social equipment" carry 45.

    Nicely done!

    I love my ARs for hunting. I grab my 6.8s when it's anything larger than pdogs. 300 blackout pistols are fun, that's what I went with when I built pistol.
