[QUOTE="Antler Daddy, post: 5763057, member: 20930"] Daughter fired the Savage flawlessly yesterday and we have waited overnight to look for him. She has a history of mortally wounding but you have to wait. Buck shot at about 50 yards. She kept trying to shoot it broadside but safety was not all the way off. It staggered and then walked back at an angle to us for 30 yards and laid down about 40 yards from us. I am trying to load gun laying on the ground and the savage requires some force. Finally get bullet seated and then primer is stuck on bolt. Buck gets up and meanders down the hill. When I finally get a new primer in rifle, daughter can’t find him with maybe 10 minutes of legal light left. Of course, both of us forgot Bono’s so I really don’t know how big buck is or any guess on the exit hole. It is a blur now. But I do recall rack looked tall and seemed wide as ears. I am guessing liver or gut and hopefully he want be too far away and we can find him. I need to change back to those all copper bullets. Hopefully this will be her 3rd buck. [/QUOTE]
