Was fortunate enjoy to harvest this heavy 9 pointer yesterday afternoon. When I spotted this deer he was over 400 yards away with his head down eating a cover crop of winter wheat, clover, peas and turnips. I decided to use the terrain to close the distance to 266 yards. He was quartering hard when I squezzed the trigger on my RUM custom .45 cal smokeless muzzleloaders with a Parker Match Hunter 300gr bullet. He only went 20 yard and piled up in the feild. Extremely pleased to end my season with this mature buck.
That's a super buck! Congrats! WOW!

Great job and great season, man! Congrats to you! Give me the cliff notes on your custom smokeless. You start with a 45-70 or REM 700?
Started with the Remington Ultimate 700. It was custom built by Levi Reed at LRCUstumes. I hated the recoil.
Converted to a 45 cal
Bell and Carlson stock
Match grade Brux barrel
Smokeless rated breech plug (Arrowhead rifles)
MZ Rex Breech Plug
Timney trigger
Leupold 6.5 x 20 vx3
Levi will load develop and guarantee a sub MOA group before shipping. Most won't believe it but I've shot 1.5" groups at 300 and X rings at 600. Happy to answer any questions you might have.
