1st Deer With 280 LFN 44 Mag
« on: October 19, 2004, 12:00:21 PM »
No Questions just a result from last saturday. I took a small yearling spike ( 120 lbs. ) with one of your bullets. The bullet weighed 294 with gas check and lube and was powered by 21 grains of 4227, haven't chrono'ed it yet. the shot was at a severe down angle from 25' up a tree and the animal was 15 yards standing broadside. The shot entered between the spine and right shoulder blade, broke ribs going in and out, punched through the offside shoulder blade and leg and went on it's way. The deer dropped in it's tracks. I was quite happy with the bullet's work, the spine wasn't touched but the animal collapsed as if it had been. Just thought y'all might want to know.

Thank you very much for your report, which is one of many thousands with identical results.  If you use that load on an elk, he'll respond just like the deer did with a similar hit or anything through the chest area.
