Despite the current handloading component shortage, I have been able to scrape together enough components to keep my son practicing with his deer rifle (Ruger American 7mm-8 with Leupold VX2) and it paid off this weekend. On Saturday, he made a great shot on this 6 point, ranged at 173 yards. As you would expect with a 12yo, he has been guilty of rushing his shot and missing. On this one, he took his time and made a great shot and was his first bang-flop spine shot. He couldn't stand to see the deer moving around on the ground and shot again (gut shot).
We have a lot of mature (200lb+) feral hogs on our land, so we started loading bonded bullets. I'll have to say, I have been most impressed with the performance of Hornady Interbonds for hogs and deer. We always get pass through, even on the biggest hogs.
