Congratulations - that's a good one! Did you get it with the RCBS cast bullet? Seems that I recall you saying you'd bought that mold or maybe it was the new Lee?
No seems life got in the way of my bullet casting plans. Got the lead stocked up just need to get to it. One day.
This buck took a 200gr Hornady RN to the low shoulder. Tough bullet. Maybe too tough for my .35 Rem velocities. Penciled through without much expansion seems like. Believe it went right in front of heart severing aortic arch maybe vena cava. He ran 50 yds stopped looking around like nothing happened. Then after a moment ran off another 60 yds tail up. Thought I heard crash but not sure. Poor blood trail even with low wound exit. Think I'll be changing bullets. He can't get any deader but wasn't impressed.
