Hunting & Fishing First deer with a 460

[Sharpshooter3]

First blood for my 460 S&W. Nice 8 pointer shot 30yds away off a shooting stick.

It is a fun gun to shoot that’s for sure! I’m running a hornady 240gr over 46.0gr of Winchester 296

That’s legit, I was just talking to my father in law about getting him a 460 with a red dot for alternative methods season. What the max range you feel comfortable harvesting game with that guy? Also, how far did he make it once he was plugged?

Mine is zeroed at 100yds. as long as I have a good solid rest I feel confident out to 200. This guy didn't make it over about 3ft from where I shot him. I he just dropped right were he stood.
