kids drew a cow permit and thought that he would hunt with the shortened marlin 45/70. 18 inch barrel with a 1-4 leopold.

reloads included a horn 350rn bullet traveling 1600 fps. inside a rem case and sparked with a cci large rifle primer.

quartered thru the cow at 135 yds. thru the rib and up thru the heart/lungs area. went thru the offside shoulder bone and lord knows what tree houses the lead from this bullet. the jacket came to rest on the offside fur and the expansion is just about perfect. only thing i dont like was the jacket shedding some portions of jacket in the meat on that farside shoulder.

its true enough that after hanging for a week we went to cut her up and we will eat rite up to the bullet hole. try that with the high energy magnum rounds that will tear up hob.

anyway thought id post this to see if the regulars will have fun with it....cant wait to read em....lol
