Wow! Excellent all around!
An experience she’ll never forget, using the only rifle/load she’ll likely ever need. 👍

What load for the 140 can that little cutie handle. I have a 5 year old and 7 year old grand daughters so I'm curious. Heck of a buck and congrats to her.

That rifle loves 41.0 grains of IMR-4064 behind the 140 grain Ballistic Tip. Not a lot of recoil at all. It’s a Carolina Precision custom with a McMillion model 7 duplicate, Shilen match barrel.

Posted a pic last year of our granddaughter getting her first buck...a cute 8 pointer. She's been hard at it this season and Lady Luck smooched her this evening. Big bodied 8. Ran 30 yards. Shot with Pappy's (that's me) model 7, 7/08. About a 75 yard shot, 140 grain Ballistic Tip. She helped dress it and cut it up....just a little Tomboy. Love that little bugger. Don't know how I missed this thread. Great photo!!
