NEF came thru, long shot sweet 7 pointer
« on: November 02, 2009, 02:43:29 PM »
Just put the scope on it last friday and boy did it work. Longest shot I've ever taken. Last twenty minutes of shooting. I'm in a stand over looking marsh with high grass. Crashing on the other side and a sweet 180lb 7 pointer rised up with front legs on a fallen tree. 130 yards, slightly quartering away,  hornady green sabot 240 xtp went through the ribs, heart and other shoulder and stayed just under the skin after passing through the opposite shoulder. Pine ridge 3X9 scope was crystal clear. Best deer I've ever taken. Neck was all swelled up.

Thanks. Give me some time, still trying to figure out how to post a pic. I'm very impressed with the round, penetration and expanding. I couldn't get decent groups with more powder. I didn't know how this load would perform with 90 grains of pyrodex. Not bad for a $160.00 ML and $60.00 scope.

Sidekick, (I always referred to it as a huntsman for some reason.) The one that's blackpowder only, cant put other barrels on it.
