Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting 2020 Dead Deer Thread

There are certainly some nice deer shown here.

Mine is unique to me in that it's the first deer I've taken with a powder coated cast bullet. I started casting and powder coating after last season and set up several rifles to use them in. They include 3 30 calibers, a 45-70, and this one, a 9X57. I had hunted a few days with my M54 Winchester in 30WCF and M1895 Marlin in 45-70, but no opportunities presented themselves. Then, last Wednesday a good 6 point crossed a power line easement at a rapid walk and I snapped a shot at him with the 9X57. I almost led him too much and also shot a little low, but the cast bullet did the job.
