I've never shot round balls from mine, I've always stuck with conicals (never sabots) in this rifle and round balls in my Lyman GPR.

God blessed me with a great low country , South Carolina Buck! I shot this buck October 20th during the pre-rut in the middle of a white oak grove. The rifle is a #1 in 25-06 with a 4.5-14x44 Conquest that shoots factory, Federal 100 grain TSX's very well.

Haven't taken a deer yet, but I did blood the Super .30 Monday.

I'm pleased at how the .30-40 #1C shot today, with 150 Nosler BT and Big Game, so it's headed to the lease next weekend smile

I got out with the 1885 today. Shot a buck at 218 yards says the range finder. It was as close to a bang flop as I get with a heart shot. Spun in a circle and went down. Sorry I have no pictures but it was late, and cold. I am really pleased with the accuracy of this rifle.

Our season starts on Saturday and I will be taking a TC G2 Contender rifle in 30-30 that I picked up last January. I shot it last weekend and so far really like what I have seen. I think I could get used to carrying a single shot. I have been eyeing up another one for the past 6 years, but have been a iffy. That could very well change now.

I killed 3 deer in 2010 with a Ruger #1 7mmRM
I killed 4 deer in 2012 with a Uberti 1885 257 Roberts Ackley

From a bipod I can fire the #1 like a machine gun, because it has an ejector.

The 1885 really lets me know it is a single shot when I have to pull the old case out of the way with my finger nail.

Shot this 8-pointer about two hours ago with my 1A 7x57mm using a Hornady 175-grain RN over 40.7 grains of H4350 in a W-W case with a WLR primer. Velocity is in the 2300 FPS range. No second shot needed.

I was headed in when the sun started going down when I saw this one trailing a doe. No sooner had he gone down than the coyotes started raising hell nearby. The house was a good half-a-mile away. I was sure I'd find them gnawing on my buck if I didn't haul ass.

Congrats Brick, did he travel very far after being hit?

No, he went down in a heap. Lasered distance was 135 yards. I was leaning across the fence in the picture shooting towards where I was standing while taking this picture. I like this load. A lot.

Very nice. What are your rifle's and load's particulars?

Hi Bricktop, The rifle started life as as a Nepalese Francotte Martini in 577/450. It was a wallhanger so I decided to make it usable (I'm not in to wallhangers). I bought an A&B blank 338 barrel and cut it half round half octagon, chambered it in 33 Winchester, and installed it on the action. The load was a Hornady 200 gr.sp at 2250fps.

Thats the quick story. A lot of alterations had to be made to the action to get it to work with a smokeless round.

Have been sitting rifle-less with my youngest daughter up
until this weekend... She got her first last weekend, so she
slept in and let me get out for myself a little smile

First blood for this combo, a Bergara 308 barrel rechambered
to 300 H&H. 130 Barnes TTSX over Rel-17, around 3300 mv
+- 250 yards, lung shot. My first experience w Barnes, did
the job well enough. maybe quarter sized exit, dropped at the
shot.

Rojelio,
I admire that you killed that boar with a single shot rifle, but the face on that animal looks huge. That pic has some shock value.

Sorry Clark, It was getting dark and my cell phone pics were crappy. Here's a complete view (albeit crappy).
