120 NBT


It don't stay in the safe.

You would have to show that when Fotis is looking for that exact rig

Well you know, I figured he needed some enticement.

That is a Boddington Leopard laying there that is about to get some blood on it. good job! If Fotis is looking for a Leopard, I can help there!
Just noticed the dog's nose in the pic. That is what my old dog does all during hunting season. Every time we come in with the Polaris Ranger, he runs out to see what is in the back.

Yes sir it is.

It's throated just right and shoots real good! I did try to keep it out of the blood, as its not good for the metal.

I saw it!!!!!

Fotis, if you hit em like that, you don't have to worry about how fast you can get off a second shot.

I have never owned a Ruger #1 or #3. But have always wished for on.

Here's mine.

I have two rifles still on my wish list. A Sharps 45�70 and a Ruger #1RSI in 7x57. Thanks for the thread guys.

Randy

My oh my that's nice Elvis. We don't grow em like that in these parts.

Your load if you do not mind?

medicman,

I took care of one of those desires: an 1874 Shiloh Sharps, Hartford Model, 30" barrel, .45-70, MVA Sharps long range rear, MVA Sharps spirit level front with windage adjustment, pewter foreend tip, shotgun buttstock, full buckhorn rear sight.

That was one itch I had to scratch.

And while I've never owned a Ruger #1, I've always fancied them. I would love to have one in .257 Roberts or mebbe 6.5x55 or 280 Remington or...

Randy...I just gotta post this pic one more time, for you...

No, I'll look it up and send it tomorrow, it was a 120NBT. It took two down. I didn't see the yearling or I would not have fired. It clipped the spine at the rear quarter after passing through the first (target deer). Unfortunate but true.

Pretty nice Randy, we also don't grow those like that here. We have bears but not those.

It's also a felony to take one here.

Now, I can show you some pretty big gators that I'm bettin you don't have there.

Thank you

Fotis,

It was 44.5gr RL15. A load straight out of the Nosler #6. I didn't do any real accuracy work with them. I pretty much loaded some up, sighted it in and went hunting.

That was the first time out with that rifle, and the first time I have used a caliber larger than a .277, well except for my 54ML, and a .357 pistol once. It reminded me of my 270 the way it hit. Not as much recoil. I did like it, I think the 120NBT is a good one...

More than enough for our smallish whitetails, I'll probably move to a 6.5 or a 25 for most of my hunting round and about here. I also have a #1 in 243 and I may give that a go with some bergers. I'm wanting something that won't exit, but that will put them down pretty quick.

Thank you.
