Meat in the freezer

11/4/2014

Chatham County, North Carolina
2:30PM  till Dark
Gun- T/C Black Diamond 50 Caliber
Load- 100 grains Pyrodex Select pushing 240 grain XTP bullet

11/4/2014 I Hunted a box blind with a Pine plantation to my right and an Oak lot to my left. Aprox 4 pm A 6 point buck came in through the pines chasing a doe. Now, normally I don't shoot bucks this small but last year was a bad year for me seeing deer and this year hasn't been too good either.  Anyway, I lowered the hammer on this boy and he dropped right there.  Aprox 40 yard shot. The 45 caliber bullet(in a sabot) expanded to .73 and still weighed 221 grains.  That is very good bullet performance.

I was in this box stand

With this view




The result- Meat in the freezer



                                                     This Bullet did it's job nicely


Thanks, Mack
