What cartridge did you christen this year? #10925547 02/03/16 Joined: Dec 2010 Posts: 3,082 NORTHEAST MISSISSIPPI T TATELAW OP Campfire Tracker OP TATELAW Campfire Tracker T Joined: Dec 2010 Posts: 3,082 NORTHEAST MISSISSIPPI Alright folks, its that time of year again. Our deer season is over and I figure it's over for most folks. So, what cartridge did you kill a deer with this season that you've never used before? My list: 26 Nosler 220 Wilson Arrow 7mm-08 Rem My only buck was with the 220. Those who must raise their voice to get their point across are generally not intelligent enough to do so in any other way.

I figure I broke that rifle in pretty good. 130 gr JLK VLDs at 3150 fps by the way.
