RE: Christened the H&R yesterday (pics are a bit graphic)
Thanks guys. They were both really well placed shots, we bow hunt so we know the importance of shot placement. Mine was pretty close so it wasn't much of a challenge. My buddies was about 60 or 70 yards away and he had to shoot thru brush. He had to wait for the deer to walk past a hole he could shoot thru.
I'm better than he is off from a bench, but when crunch time comes that boy can shoot.
I was expecting better killing power from the 600 grn slug than what I get from my ML, but I guess that isn't the case. The slug just punched a nice round hole all the way thru. I don't even think it expanded at that range. I think next year I'm going with a better bullet design. He said his was destroyed inside. The heart and lungs were just mush. Very little blood from his as well.
Mine was around 150 lbs his was a hair under 170 lbs.

Yep, it was from my condo in the sky. Poured all day long and I didn't get wet at all. The bad thing was my heater kept fogging up my windows[:@]. I bet you really feel sorry for me.
