Me and a buddy took the 444 H&Rs out for opening day of deer, he shot this 9 point from about 70 yards with the 265 Leverevelotion loads and dropped him in his tracks! Inside spread was 18 1/8!

Nice buck! Great hunt. Questions: I don't see any bullet hole on that right side. Did the Leverevolution pass through? What was the shot angle?

Nice buck , Can't wait for opening day in Michigan. 35 Whelen or 45-70 BC. will be my choice of rifles. Going to take them both if I get my BC back from H&R in time.

Great job- Nice to see some seasons getting going. 2 weeks yet for rifle here in MN. Hope to add a pic here myself on Gendocs opennin day shooter thread. But until then I sure like seeing every one elses success.

Very Nice Buck Mudhole

Hey Janitor.........
How many hogs did you pass on to get one that matched you rifle?

If it wasn't for the metal you could not see it laying on the hog LOL

Funny when my wife asks "do these go together?" I fail miserably but the pic turned out ok...
Guess she will need to start quilting only with H&R stock and pig colors for me to help.

Nice! The 444 does it again, I too would like to know more about the bullet, did you get it back, if so we need pictures.

He hit him in the left shoulder and the bullet didn't exit, it was the Hornady 265 grn. Leverevelotion load, spent all its engery inside the deer!

Another buddy of mine layed a big doe down Sunday evening, same load and another 70-80 yard shot, same load and rifle, but he got a pass thru!
