    New Vaquero Deer

    45 yds, GT 255hp @ 925fps. First deer with this gun. First shot through the spine. Recovered bullet is from the finishing shot and was in the skin under his jaw.

    Nicely Done! Don't need no stinking adjustable sights!
    If liars pants really did catch on fire, watching the news would be a lot more fun!

    Since I fell into and in love with a baby vaquero in 32 mag a few years ago, I’ve been bound and determined to build a smooth action, fixed sight big bore and a couple loads that it would shoot. Took me a year but I got there ��

    Congratulations on a very nice six gun kill. Seen 5 bucks tonight & could have shot 4 of them but I've already filled my tag & have been chasing elk, Friday was nuts but they wouldn't stand still. Anyway, it never gets old, glad you filled your tag, good job!

    Thank you. I’ll trade you a hunt for a few of these central TX whitetails and even throw in a pig and airfare both ways to let me tag along on one of those elk hunts ��

    Nicely done ! Love that mushroom.

    Sweet! What’s your load data? If I remember 20,000 pressure is ok in the new vaqueros. I haven’t tested some of the 285 grain HP cast ammo I loaded up at tier 2 velocities yet.
