Attached are pictures of a few of the critters I have taken for food or to protect food (sheep). The rifle is an 1894 CB mfg 1996 IIRC. The original sights were removed and it now wears a marlin folding rear sight and a SKINNER up front. I cast the LEE255RF from WW+2%Sn. It falls from my mold at .453. I lube with homemade loob.........Candle wax and Petroleum Jelly. I have taken several other deer but lack pictures. Before casting I loaded DJ cast, 300 gr TC and H110. I used this load to take a WT, the Bobcat another WT with my 45 Colt Bisley. Meat damage (I have pics if interested) was minimal.

I found this guy sleeping while checking my fences.


I snuck upon this one


IIRC, this turkey was a 85 yards.



This cat will no longer eat lambs. Being sheep and goat country, ranchers and businesses promote the thinning of predators.

Nice. I'd like to hunt with my 1894cb in 45 colt some day; it's the 20" model.
