Old son took nice 6x7 last evening out of a herd here on the ranch with his 1954 vintage Model 70 30/06. Nosler partition 180 pt bullet. 55 grns H4350. 140 yds. Then they all ran down the meadow to me. And I got a gap in the herd and got this 5x5 at about 200 yds with old Husqvarna ( one We rechambered to 93.x62) 270 grain Speer Hot core and I can’t remember the load of IMR 4064. Boom flopped this boy!

Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

Well done. Meat for the freezer and good memories. Thanks for the pictures and narrative.

Thanks Sam. Son took that with his iphone. I told him, " damn that’s an awesome pic!” Only thing bad is all the fire scar on the mtn behind from the 2020 Troublesome creek fire. It was bad!
