Well Charlie I got number 16 this evening at about 19:00 . Shot her with the Ruger #1B 243 I gave my dad for Xmas about 5 or 6 years ago !
First time I ever took it out !!!!!
Was shooting the Nosler 95 grain Ballistic Tip pushed with 42,5 grains of IMR4350 !
I am not a big advocate of a 243 or 6mm for deer and had not shot one with either cartridge in quite awhile . But I gotta say that bullet knocked the fire out of the doe I shot !
She was a lasered 56 yards and I popped her thru the two front shoulders and she bumbled maybe 30 yards forward .
Next trip is going to be a 1B I have in 6mm REM loaded with Hornady 95 grain SST's !
