I know this has happened thousands of times but it was my first with a 44 Special. My own 255 gr LBT WFN-PB on top of Alliant 20/28 and a CCI 300 primer. Running 1050 fps, at 19 yds, she simply dropped with the broadside hit. I had two different rifle matches I wanted to shoot in today but it was my turn to work this Saturday. At least the day started off right!!!  |

Congratulations! Taking a deer with the classic 44 special & one of your very own bullets is a special time for anyone. It just makes things that much sweeter, good job.

That's great. The 44 Special is one fine cartridge.

Great. Any critter with a wheel gun is a trophy. Then you topped it off with irons and a bullet you cast your self and ammo you put together, icing on the cake.
My first with a wheel gun was jacketed, but ammo I loaded. When I started casting it was the same feeling all over again maybe even more so.

Pass through? Yes. I did go back this morning and dug around to find the slug with no success.
Thank you all for your kind words.

I can echo all the above statements. Handgunning a deer is sweet. Add in the iron sights,, your cast slug,, and seeing it all come together like that is a lifetime memory. Oh,,,, it NEVER gets old.
