Antelope
My 10 year old son and I made a mile and a half stock on this goat this morning. 94 yard quartering away shot and a 50 yard dash is all she wrote. The Big 50 strikes again.

Re: Antelope
Very nicely done! I like the part about your son being with you. My boys used to do that but have long since outgrown it. Enjoy them while you can!
I haven't connected yet this year but working on it.
Congratulations Stephen!!

I had gotten possession of a big "50" gun early in the fight, and was making considerable noise with it.

Re: Antelope
Yes Bill that is the exit hole. Entry hole was the size of the bullet, the exit hole the size if a 50 cent piece! When the bullet struck the buck he kicked up like a bucking bronco! That's always fun to see. The off side lung was nothing but a blood clot! Lots of damage.rdnck wrote:Congratulations Stephen. Nice going. I take it we are looking at the exit wound?

Thanks Bill

I duplicate the original factory load. 100 grains of Fg, .025 card, 3/16 lube, .025 card a .494 pp bullet wrapped with 9 lbs onion skin paper and weighing out at 473 grains.
Thanks To All

I have three antelope tags, one for each of my older boys! One down two to go! They love hunting with me. Good luck.

That's a good looking boy and a nice looking rifle. He will be happy to own it some day.

Re: Antelope
Congratulations Stephen. Nice antelope, nice rifle and nice memories with your son. The guys that have only shot the scoped modern stuff don't understand.
