I went out to fill a B tag and stumbled across this guy. He fell to a 1886 Winchester (reproduction) chambered in 45-70. The shot was 159 yards off hand, he dropped on the spot with a 417gr bullet cast from wheel weights.

Congratulations, you have two heavy weights to get out of the woods, your buck and the rifle. Grinning

Congrats that is an all around good accomplishment. Wish I still had the eyes to shoot 149 yards with barrel sights.

Thanks guys, it’s a Montana deer. On a side note, I couldn’t be happier with the cast bullet performance, bang flop and the meat is edible right up to the entrance and exit. I did find the gas check under the hide at the exit.

Outstanding!
I have the same rifle, Miroku Winchester but it's down the list of guns I need to bloody.
