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 used a 6.5 SAUM to take a mule deer buck in Montana, an antelope doe in Wyoming, plus a whitetail buck and button buck here in Missouri. I figure I broke that rifle in pretty good. 130 gr JLK VLDs at 3150 fps by the way.

338 Federal for me. Shot a nice PA 8 point on the last day of the season with it. 210 grain partition did its job nicely.

Killed stuff with three new rifles this year, but none were in new-to-me chamberings. The 260, 7mm-08, and .308 are all ones I've used before to good effect.

One of the bucks I took was this buck ( The other was a 4 point with my trusty 270 with my second tag). 4x5 Idaho muley in Idaho's Frank Church Wilderness. Taken with a Tikka 300 wsm, 180 accubonds at 3000 fps. I then proceeded to loan the rifle to a friend who shot a deer and elk with it.

Nothing this year. .257 Roberts last year and 7.65 x 53 the year before. I might do 9mm this year for plinking loads.

I didn't christen a new to me cartridge but I did christen a new to me rifle. I had gotten a Remington Model 30, one of the first models with the dovetailed receiver sight in 30/06. It was probably made in the early 1920's. I love the looks of classic old hunting rifles and really like using them as they were issued. The only concession I made was using some Remington 125 grain ammo in it. Not because of the reduced recoil but it sighted in dead on at 100 and shot great. I've never used that load before, if that counts. The reduced recoil was nice as the butt plate is the same one used on my Remington 14 1/2, 44-40. Small and steel.

I've had a 30-06 for a couple of years but had never hunted with it until last weekend.Popped a coyote and a spike buck,now I know it will kill something.It might get to go again next year.

I bumped off one doe with a 300 blackout, and two more with the 260 Remington. First deer I have taken with both those cartridges. I predict there will be more.

No dead animal pic but I used my Ruger All-Weather .280 Remingtton and a 140g AccuBond for the first time this year. Took a WY doe antelope at 373 yards. Scope is a Burris 3-9x40 Fullfield II with Ballistic Plex reticle.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.
A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.

son-in-law #2 also christened his rifle, a walnut/blue Ruger Hawkeye in .30-06. He took his first western animal, a WY doe antelope, at 300 yards with the .30-06. Don't recall the load.
Like my rifle above, the scope was a Burris 3-9x40 Fullfield II with Ballistic Plex reticle but in blue..

I harvested my first animal with the 35 Whelen (250 partition). It was my first time hunting deer with the rifle and I took this doe. The blood trail was like a waterfall. She tasted very good.

So, what cartridge did you kill a deer with this season that you've never used before?
None in 2015 but I broke out a Rem M 6 in 270 W that I hadn't even shot since 2002. It still works. Even with HI shoulder shot. For 2016 I hope to blood a 284 W-- PLUS a Rem M 6 in 30-06, (6-06) that's new to me. The last 'new to me cartridge' I christened was a 6.5X55 in a Win 70, XTR FTWT in 2012. Normally I blood different rifles more than new cartridges. Sorry for the variant. Jerry

Same here, I end up with multiple rifles chambered the same, so it's usually just blooding a new rifle. This years, a bobcat, deer, and a coyote notched up for the newbie It's a 300 H&H

KOOL ! !
I had a few # 1s but they had the Semi-beavertail forend & 26" blls. I always wanted a 1 AB in 22" bll. with the A H forend. Things just never worked out.
Today I will not pay Ruger's MSRP + the AB isn't available as far as I know.

jwall, I hear ya on the msrp... I was lucky to get into most of mine before they went crazy. The one in the picture here bought used from a campfire member
The timing never worked out right when I was looking for one, but the fellow El Numero Uno who post here can hook you up with about anything if you're patient. His website is called Classic Sporting Arms I believe.

Always been a long action guy. During the off season, I put together a .308 and bought my youngest son a .243. My son pulled the trigger on his first deer: Wow, That's a cool first, for sure. Mount looks "UBER" too.

Please extend my heartfelt congratulations to young Mr. Henry. I was fortunate to use a 260 for the first time this fall too.
I think he did a fine job, and here's hoping for continued success for Henry!

I was fortunate to take two bucks with two very cool old cartridges, both firsts for me. The first was with a 9X57 Mauser using a 250 gr Hornady round nose: The other was with a 250-3000 using a 100 gr Hornady Interlock. The bullet went in behind the left shoulder, broke the right shoulder, and ended up under the skin. If you look closely at the photo, you can see the lump under the skin where it stopped:

Thanks guys! Henry is a hunter...I'm really lucky he's taking to it. His little bro Rudy is a total killer at heart, at 7, he's so with it. I'm taking him to AL next January. Speaking of 'new,' here's Henry with his first goose on the Missouri River near Craig, MT shot with his 28 guage! He and Rudy are soooo intrigued by his first, dead goose. Not trying to brag, but I love seeing all of the youngin's taking to the field. A first is a first, we all remember them and thanks for sharing! New 2 99s: What's a .243? I drank the .260 kool-aid...I love .243's too. I could sway like the grass in the wind between these cartidges! Dang, life is good.

I had never shot anything with a 270 Win until this last May when I bagged this bear. Shot a bunch of deer with the 260 Rem but have shot lots of animals with that round.

Did the slug not exit? What type of slug was it? Exit is on the opposite side. Those big-azz Midwest deer ain't no joke, tough critters to say the least. I use 2-3/4" Hornady 300 grain SST and it does really well. Gun shoots 2" at 100 yards with these if I hold it tight. Recoil is there also

I used my 45 colt Bisley Blackhawk to take a 7 point at 55 yards. I used a cast 325 grain bullet at a mv of 1100fps. Now that was a rush!

Bought a marlin 336A in 3030 to scratch the itch and used some of those hot hornady LE rounds. They work well. Took a buck at 220 yards with it and 3030 will do the job.
I shot two more deer with my 3006 and you can see the difference in knock down power though. I've scratched the itch for the 3030, but I will probably will default to my 3006 because I get mixed long & short shots. Just use the 3030 when I'm in chip shot stands.
Other than that, How was the show Mrs. Lincoln?

I fine-tuned a Marlin XS7 in .308 on this young GA hog: 165 TSX at 25 yards, way over penetrated. FC

Very old, NH issued civil war musket bored to smoothbore...
.615 round ball, ain't very accurate, but I can get close most of the time...
It actually went off when it needed to and put a hole in the heart of the spike.

Jerry Thanks. I shot the coyote about an hour before the 8 point came through. I usually leave after I shoot, but maybe I should hang around more often.
