My son shot his first deer this morning during Camp Atterbury's youth hunt. He used my his H&R 357 Maximum with a MP Molds 200gr LHP cast at 30:1 and running ~1200fps with Viht Tin Star. Shot was 25-30yds and the deer ran about 60yds to die just inside the woodline. Now the deer is on my Rec Teq and should be done in about 8 hours.

Thanks everyone! He is definitely hooked. That deer is about all he talked about this weekend while visiting his grandparents.

Circling around to the original post, my son used my H&R 357 Maximum rifle and really wanted to keep it. That was a decent thought but I'm not ready to let go of it yet.

Congrats!!! Sounds like an awesome build you're doing for him. Don't forget pics when it comes it!! I'm getting close to settled on a load for my H&R Maxi with AA1680 and a 180 XTP. I'd post a pic of my Maxi if I could figure out how.
