Handis first kill. (More Pics)
« on: November 18, 2007, 04:17:13 PM »
My 7mm-08 Handi shot it's first deer today.
She was just a 95lb doe but tastes great.

This really makes me feel better about my 7mm-08.

One shot (duh) at about 70yd. Only made it 10yds.
There was a nice entrance and exit with a plane old 140g remington core lokt.

Partsman.
Concrats on your first deer with the 7mm-08 Handi. Was this a hand load I sugested? You have one of the finest deer rifles ever. I am going out tomorow and use my 7x57 which is about the same as a 7mm-08. For really H.D service try the 175gr Semi pointed Rem bullet.They are gentle with a a lot of authority.  I had planned on using this rifle before but was not to happy with the scope,

Yesterday I bought a new Burris Full Field II 3-9 with the ballistic plex they were on sale here for $235. I know in the US you can buy them for less but
by the time I ship them here insurance and shipping. About the same price.
So now the 7x57 sports a scope I like very much.

Congrats partsman! i got a laugh outa the "one shot (duh)" and it realy didnt occur to me before but now that i look at it, I havent found or heard of a person on this site using the handi and having to use a second shot. I think that that is special in itself. We are truely our own breed! Congrats on that doe buddy! May she feed you and your family through the season!

Partsman, Congrats on the doe!
I've heard some very good things about the 7-08, there's some guys around here that love em.
None are handis though, they just like the caliber for deer.

Nice fat doe there Partsman!

I'm still waiting for my chance at a deer with my 7MM-08.

I've taken 4 hogs already and a shot right behind the ear drops them like a rock, but I'm waiting to shoot a deer with it.

I've been passing up some smaller bucks and being choosy waiting for the right one.

We've got a long season down here in Texas, and I don't want to end my season too early since I'm only allowed one buck on the ranch I hunt on.

Does I can take more than one, but they have been skittish and haven't given me an opportunity yet, so we'll see what happens during the holidays!

Thanks guys.
We have a lot of doe around here. Plus they have all been having twins lately.
The state took a buck away and added a doe for my part of the state.
I had been watching the biggest 8 point I have ever seen walk the other side of the fence.
Watched him 3/4 mile away bed down and two doe came up to my blind so i took the bigger one.

Sorry Mac no hand loads through this one yet.
My case length gage is BO from the gun shop.:(

Pic are here!!!
There is a small point at the base of his right antler.
Some would call him a 9 point.
As far as I am concerned he is a very nice 8.

Congrats, Partsman!

 Look at those brow tines!  The 140 CoreLokt is doin' the bidness for you, no doubt!  That'll look great with a skull mount.
