I brought along the 30-30 and some Lyman 173gr bullets loaded with 9.5gr of Unique.
I really did not expect to see anything. Anyone who has tryed to keep up with a big 3 1/2 year old boy and a beagle knows that it leaves little time for anything else.
Same as taking 6 kids fishing.
We piled out of the truck and headed down into the bottoms.
Not 2 min later I scan into the tree tops and see a "lump that looks like it has no buissness being on that limb.
I find a tree to lean against and put the scope on it. All I could make out was a ear and the side of his head. So I put the crosshairs under the ear and touched it off.
The performance of the lengendary Lyman 311041 173gr gas checked bullet lived up to its vaulted reputation.
Passing completly thru the head and smashing into a limb behind it.
No second shot was needed. Range was 30ft across and 70+ feet straight up.
Good times!!
This is where my dog sleeps whenever there is a fire arm in a case next to me on the floor.
The devestation of the Lyman bullet
Last but not least, my son and the rifle.
