Notch another one for the .357max. My first time gun hunting and i shot a 6pt opening weekend Nov 12. 50 yard broadside shot pass through doublelung. the Hornady 180gr SSP worked very well and left a 1" exit hole. the buck ran less than 50 yards and dropped in sight!

Small eatin' buck with one of my 30-30 Handi's!

125 gr Rem SP ahead of 1 grain more then the minimum load of TAC.

GOOD SHOW RICHARD!!!

Add one more to the 44 mag talley... this 10 point buck came to about 7 yards after I hit my Primos Can call a couple of times this morning. Neck shot from the Talo with a 240 grain Winchester Dual Bond dropped him on the spot.

Flint,
GREAT PIC!!!

Congrats on the buck!

Wow I am kind of shocked there has been no 25-06 or .270 Win. I thought there was a bunch of those floating around out there.... Maybe there are not as many as I thought.
Thanks all for the posts and the pics are just great!

Looks like about a 3-1 advantage for the Rimmed cartridge crowd.....

Those long shooters probably just could not get far enough away and just had to let them go...........

Add another for the TrackerII 20 ga. One shot at 9AM Wednesday 23rd @ 52 yards with a 3" Barnes Expander Slug. Devastating exit wound. This is the spare Tracker II we had between me and my son. Our area is going rifle soon so we sold one of the Tracker II's and added some more Topper 30-30's

thejanitor · « **Reply #131 on:** November 23, 2011, 10:58:06 AM »

Wow Chalk another up for that 20 ga.

Thanks giving was a slug fest for Clan Spikehorn. Spikehorn Jr. took a broken antlered buck in the morning with his 20ga USH, and I took an 8 point that afternoon with my Tracker II 20ga

Lonny

spikehorn · « **Reply #149 on:** November 25, 2011, 06:10:10 AM »

I don't know. We don't have to weigh them here. He went straight to the processors. I'm guessing 170-180 dressed. Now it's time for does, putting meat in the freezer.
