Kapow, good for you for getting out with that .40. Are you casting your own balls for it?

Congrats on a fine meal & a nice rifle :thumbsup:

That's either the biggest rabbit or the smallest deer I've seen in a long, long time :hmm:. Congratulations either way. The load you used just so happens to be my favorite .40 load, too.

I have to agree; that's a fine stump. I wish I had a good stump just like that one. Oh, and I do like that rifle.

 

[Kapow]

Actually guys that one is about 2/3 grown, I'll try and pop one of the big fatties getting around. Heading out this afternoon for a shot. Great practice for hunting bigger critters.

Not casting r/b yet but have got a mould to make some. I can't wait to whistle in a fox or two.
