First Handgun Deer

[JD Mandrell]

Taken this year in first firearms season in Illinois with a Ruger Blackhawk in 45 colt with Cor-Bon ammo.

[CB on the run]

Nice buck!.  How did the round perform?  Did you get an exit wound?  I have a TC Contender with a 410/45 Colt barrel that I was think about putting a scope on and seeing how it groups.

Deer made it about 120 yards, bullet broke two ribs, went all the way through the right lung and stopped inside the stomach, so no exit wound.
