OP elkhunternm Campfire Oracle E Joined: Aug 2009 Posts: 95,929 Southern New Mexico	My wife Judy killed her first buck in Texas Friday with rockinbbar aka Barry. She used a Winchester M 70 .243 Win with handloads the using 90 grain Sierra Gamechanger. I killed a pig and a nice whitetail buck also. I used a CZ 550 American re-barreled to the wildcat .270 Ingwe with handloads using the 130 grain Nosler Ballistic Tip. Last edited by elkhunternm; 12/29/19.
