Killed first deer with 500 S&W
« on: November 18, 2005, 02:13:17 PM »
Went hunting today and shot a spike with the 500 s&w. The deer dressed at 121lbs by check station scale. The shot was around 35 to 40 yards. broad side.The shot went dead center through the left shoulder and out the other shoulder.The deer dropped , a few kicks and that was it. Very impressive knock down power.Awesome in close power.
