    Congrats! Great job! Ya'll sure grow them big up there! There are few things more satisfying than putting meat in the freezer using a boolt you cast. I'm betting this won't be the last time.

    I am not an expert on cast bullets, but I would say that the bullet performed well, and I don't like to argue with success.

    hope all that fat doesn't mean a bad winter. 53° on Christmas day is pretty warm so hopefully mother nature has it wrong this year.

    Congrats on the cast Boolit deer.

    I have hopes that the rain stops next week so I can seek one of the same.

    Looking at thae carcass on that deer make it look like USDA Choice. It sure should eat good!
