Built a fast twist .270 Win this summer, 700LA, 1:8tw, 27" Light Palma contour, 0.290 freebore added, Holland heavy recoil lug, Triggertech trigger, Magpul stock. The .270 Win with COAL of 3.63 in the 700LA gives performance with heavier higher BC bullets that will stun you. My GTG load is 156 Hammer Hunter at 3200 fps with RL26 the magic pixie dust for .270's. Yes, this is correct and not a typo. My second GTG load is 170EOL at 3100 fps.

Killed this buck Thanksgiving morning in northern Indiana lease my son has. Not a long shot but not an easy one since he was in a pacer type walk at 240 yards. Double lung shot and the Hammer did the rest.

Green scored by taxidermist at 161 5/8, just slightly bigger than last buck on lease at 156 7/8. This buck was a warrior by any definition you can think of. His right front shoulder was broken and healed, right rear hip and leg broken and healed and field dressing found 3 broken ribs completely broken in half and healed up in a hard mass. Looks like hit by a vehicle and healed up somehow. Man, are they tough animals!

My 2019 Northern Mi buck and largest to date. This is after being prepped for my taxidermist. Unable to find a pic of me with the deer at this time. Lost a lot of pictures when my dog used my phone as a chew toy.

My 2021 crossbow buck, went all of 10yards and piled up in the thickets. He was dinner less than 12hrs later.

The one that made it through the season. 10pointer held up behind an oak at 35yards with my daughter in the pilot seat.
