Reached a goal yesterday
Posted: 10 Jan 2018 06:16
I killed my third deer of the seasons yesterday afternoon using a cast bullet. Shot it with my Renegade .54 Flintlock using a 415 gr. Maxi Bullet. The only problem I had was that I didn't have any bullets on hand and so Monday morning found me firing up the lead pot and running off about 35-40 beautiful bullets. One of them dropped this deer berween 60 & 70 yds. with a 90 gr. load of 2F black powder. Open sights, aperture rear with a bright red bead front sight to be precise.
My earlier two deer were both killed with 38-55's and Ranch Dogs 230 gr. FN bullet. The first was shot with an Encore rifle with a 38-55 barrel by Jesse Ocumpaugh, the second with a Glenfield, another rebored and chambered by Jesse. All doe because that's the way the regulations for this state are set up.
Butchering this morning then preparing for my second cataract operation which takes place on Feb. 1. I have 4 or 5 pre op discussions scheduled!?
