Managed to notch another tag this afternoon with my Blackhawk in 357 magnum! I sent one of Elmers finest (358429 from an Arsenal mold) his way from about 45 yards, after a quick 80 yard jaunt he stood broadside in a drive row between apple trees. I closed the distance about 40 yards and cut another loose. This one landed on his neck and sent him to the promised land! The first shot hit him in front of his left shoulder (he was quartering towards me) a little lower than I would’ve liked but it would’ve been a fatal shot but the second shot ended him right there. He’s not a giant but a 5 point is good enough for me, especially since it’s my first buck with a revolver!
The load is a stiff charge of Blue Dot and the bullet is cast of air cooled clip on wheel weights and it’s hustling along at about 1400 fps.
