I had a herd of deer come out above and to the left of me today. A large doe stopped to feed in the only clear spot. I decided to take the shot. I was standing in my tree stand and shot offhand with my BFR .475 Linebaugh revolver. The deer was between 100 and 120 yd's. I figured a 4" drop so I aimed center of her chest. She jumped at the shot and ran towards me, stopping just above me behind a lot of brush. In seconds, she crashed through all of the deadfalls and layed down 15 yd's away and died. I hit 4" below center chest but a little left through the diaphragm. The bleeding was massive. I used a hard cast 430 gr WLNGC boolit from my home made mould with 26 grs of 296. | ||

Congradulations,on your success.Hardcast are great in the big bore revolvers _____________________________________________________ A 9mm may expand to a larger diameter, but a 45 ain't going to shrink Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened. - Winston Churchill | |||
