Made some reloads and mods to my dad's lil Ruger american.243 last time I was home. He finally remembered to send me a pic of them working out those 85gr game kings look like they did the job . Told him since I probably won't be able to get out in the woods for deer season he better do something lol. Actually his first ever buck

Thats cool


Mac

Way to go Dad and Wolfie. That's getting the job done

Very cool. Congratulations on the buck.

Very nice picture and great buck

I dont know how I forgot to mention in the post with my boys deer that it was my mods and reloads that took the deer

Good for him. Congrats

Congrats Dad! Hunt details? How far of a shot? How fast is his .243 shooting your 85 grain Sierra Gamekings?

Good job Wolfie and great shot Dad.

That's great W.D. Antlers and venison! Can't ask for more than that!

Glad for him.

Im waiting for more details but last he texted me he had the deer hung up so might be a bit lol

Yep ! He's usually more worried about mean hence why he's never shot a buck but she been talking about the guy a lot so hope he keeps the head safe . I'll pay to get it mounted. A Euro mount at least

Was the original title to obvious

Welp he finally texted me back , said he was done butchering but he he couldn't find an exnt or exit wound, or the bullet . But the way he explained it he was in the stand and ole boy cam walk out about 60-75 yd and as soon as he stopped he said he put it on his shoulder pull the trigger and he just dropped , dads not the best at explaining stuff at times , especially when he gets a lil excited lol I don't have the data on my phone but if I remember right had them gan kings goin like 2850 fps ? And pretty sure I was using ramshot Hunter . I got all the data back at the house lol
, really wish I was there though , already know what kinda face he probably made when he shot it and it just dropped ... But hay what can you do. Old mans beyond happy now and I honestly can't stop smiling for him !

That’s about as good of a text you can ever get from a Dad!

There is always seems to be something special about taking deer with ammo you load.

Have your son load it next time. I ran my daughter through the process showing her how it worked then had her load about 10 for her 7mm-08 marked the ones she loaded with a marker and she shot her deer with ammo she loaded. I think she was about 9 at the time.

Well done Wolfy and Dad.

That’s just awesome WD, cherish those moments while you can.
