My son shot this one with my smokeless muzzleloader yesterday afternoon. 278 Pittman hard-core at 2610 fps. 75 yard shot. The deer was missing an eye and has a tine broken off. Weighed 160 field dressed.

Filled my last tag for the year. He's a 7-8yr old brute, 24" wide 6pt Whitetail. Love hunting the really mature bucks. 400yds with a 6.5saum 129gr ablr at 3200fps.

 

[WirgmanUSMC]

He’s no monster, but he’s my first buck. 15yrds from the ground in my backyard.

How does the ABLR hold up for you? I have 200 of them and just loaded 10 to try with Rl16 out of my 18" 6.5 Creed. Hoping to see 2750-2780 fps like I get with the 130 Norma.

Amazing bullet
Here is a 129 that went through both shoulders of a bull elk at 250yds with 6.5cm. We've taken prob 50 large game with the ABLR and nothing but positive results. Too bad they doubled the price on them.

 

[mtwarych]

This is the first deer I decided to pull the trigger on in the last six years. I enjoy watching my kids fill their tags and freezers too much.
224 yards with a 6.5CM shooting a 142gn LRAB.

 

[Lesco Brandon]

Ohio buck.

 

[hopps]

Nice shooting. I caught the bastard chewing on my kayak.

 

[Holliday]

Not a trophy by any measure but a difficult stalk in open country. 460 yards with the 20” 280 Ackley .

Nice kill, great to know there are a few of us that still use the old ways.

I want to try some in my 280AI but I can’t find any in 7 mm to save my life. The whole Berger detonating bullet thing is getting very old......

 

[danatkins]

140bthp at about 100 yards. Acted like someone cut the wires. It'd gonna be a cold winter this boy had some fat on him

 

[Holliday]

It'd gonna be a cold winter this boy had some fat on him

Funny I have been saying the exact opposite about the three antelope I shot here in Wyoming. They had almost no fat. So far it has been a very warm Oct and Nov. My brother wants snow here when he comes for turkey day. I told him to get over it .........

 

[danatkins]

The persimmons have been full of spoons and people have been seeing nothing but black wooly worms so it's gonna suck round here

 

[mountainman308]

Healthy 6 pointer down in the last 10 minutes of shooting light. Don’t leave until you need a flashlight to walk out. You might miss something. DT SRS shooting 6.5 CM 140 ELDMs suppressed.

 

[Maverick3009]

Been waiting for the opportunity to post in here. Shot my first deer on Saturday just after sunrise, opening day here in Indiana.

 

[KeithStone]

Had a lot of fun spotting and stalking mule deer but partner tagged out so I ended the trip with this guy.

 

[OH58DViper]

Haven’t had any issues, though I literally screwed those Hypodermics on the arrows the night before, so haven’t had many chances to see any issues. They are currently 1-0 for me.

That's awesome. I've heard great things but i'm weary of shot selection. Apparently they don't like angled shots.

I am 3 for 3 with the hypodermics this year. 2 were broadside and one was a 1/4 away. Furthest made it 60 yards, all had amazing blood trails.

I had good luck with the 2" original Rare until one made a 90 degree right turn on a routine 23 yard broadside on a doe. She was facing left and it cut the bottom of her heart, turned right, and stayed in her. She went almost a half mile. Took a few hours of tracking, but I found her. She laid down withing 30 yards, so I thought she was done. I stayed in the stand for another hour or more as I had other tags to fill. I switched back to fixed blades. The hypodermic may stay straighter. I had 6 pass through shots with the originals, but that one was enought to make me switch.

I had a similar experience. Fixed blade for me, got a doe yesterday, went ten yards.

saw your daughters buck on the Rokslide 77TMK thread. Congrats!

 

[gopherslayer]

saw your daughters buck on the Rokslide 77TMK thread. Congrats!

she was surprised I told her to shoot it. The deal is if the buck is trotting or walking and won’t stop it’s mine. If it stops and is a good angle it’s hers. It was stopped and a good angle so it was hers. The stuff we do for our kids.

 

[Maxduty]

Saturday morning, opening day on a public WMA. 165 yards with the PVA barreled Tikka in 300wsm. With the can on, it was a two hit affair. The bullet hit him and he hit the ground.
