I am sorry if I gave you the wrong impression as this is not my first bp deer, just the first one with this rifle! Embarassed

That's what I mean...

Not the first this year, or the first BP deer, But the FIRST with that rifle....

I was using a CVA Wolf 209 Magnum adapted for small rifle primers.
The load I used was 120 gr 777 fff with TC Cheap shot sabots. Range was 120yds and she went down after 18-20 yds with the one shot. She reacted with a jump trying to run off laboriously. She went down, tried to get up and collapsed. I was watching 3 others and when I shot 8-10 deer took off and one stood looking at me until I moved. Very Happy
