Finally BIG BOY down

[Pa. Mick]

Finally got one ! Can’t tell you how many sets I’ve done to finally nail one. What a dandy ! Might even be the biggest I’ve ever taken !
I’m guessing maybe 50 lb. or very close to it ! No scales on me so I’ll never know. Look close at his front left leg, it was definitely broken but healed over. The new Ruger American 243 did a fine job. Hornady V-Max 75 gr. / 180 yards.

Nice Mick! Congrats!

Gotta ask though… is the 175 a new offering from Hornady? Lol… Pretty sure I know what you meant.

maybe take it in the house and weigh it on the bathroom scale, then "forget" to take it out of the bathroom and leave it in the tub for the wife to find
