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.
Everybody has the right to a wrong opinion.

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.

I just realized I also killed a Whitetail buck with my 6.5x55, which was a first for me.

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!
