    Will be using my new acquired 450 bushmaster here in Ohio, finally got it running yesterday after some trial and error.

    Tell us why you passed? He looks like a shooter to me but I don't know what else you have around...

    When I am able to go (health issues), I have been using the rifle that my Dad gave me when I was about 12 y/o. It is a first year production Remington model 7 in 7mm-08 that has the Schnabel forearm, and factory length 18 1/2" barrel. It's topped with a Leupold 3-9x scope. I feed it my own reloads that use the Barnes 120 gr TSX.

    Bagged two deer this weekend using this combo;

    1) Spike at ~110yds, one shot kill after 10yd stagger. Squared up right to left, heart & lungs turned to chunky strawberry jelly. Clementine Orange size exit hole through ribs.

    2) Doe at ~95yds, one shot kill, DRT. Shot from right rear to front left side behind the shoulder, blew up both lungs, golfball size hole through ribs on way out, lodged inside front left shoulder, breaking it.

    Very, very impressed with the Hornady bullets. Destructive.

    Congrats on the deer! Are those the BTHP bullets? What is the muzzle velocity? Any pics of the recovered bullet?

    Thanks, family will be eating good this Christmas!

    - Are those the BTHP bullets? Yes

    - What is the muzzle velocity? 2,643 ft/s from a Colt 14.5"

    - Any pics of the recovered bullet? Nope, none recovered. But here is a pic of the exit wound on the spike.

    Mrs Stick was going to use the Elk meat, but went with Venison instead. Yum.

    Man, that looks good right now. Follow it with a nice glass of Bourbon and you are living!

    I'm going to start a chili recipe thread here in the hunting section.

    Please post it over in this section as well, a general recipe thread would be awesome.
