Re: Rifle season opens here tomorrow
Henry Long Ranger in 223 got it done today.
200-ish yards, DRT.
75 grain Speer Gold Dot
Retained weight exactly 54 grains after breaking a rib and exiting thru the spine (she was uphill on a logging road).
Doe was massive at, easily, 200 pounds.
Really happy with the results.

Re: Newest obsession. 1858 Remington
I’ve had the Old Army for a few years. It’s set up with a Howell .45ACP conversion cylinder and a Belt Mountain base pin. It’s been a great shooter and a lot of fun! The revolver on the bottom is a Beretta-Pietta 1858 that came with the original BP cylinder and a Howell .45 ACP five shot conversion...

Stupidity and complacency have consequences. That being said, all my kids (all under 10) are familiar with firearms and know what to do and not to do.
