The Encore 7-08 comes through!

Well I finally connected on my first buck with my encore 7-08. Wasn't a monster rack but it's meat in the freezer. He weighed 176 pounds but was only a 3 point. That's just because he was missing the right side of his rack. Shot him at a 124 yards and he went about 30 yards. I am using the Barnes Tipped Triple Shock 120 grain on top of 44 grains of Varget. The bullet went through the right shoulder and took out the lungs and two ribs on the opposite side and kept going. I am very impressed with that bullet. I'm hoping to get a bigger deer this week or weekend! I didn't get any good pics since it was dark by the time we got him out.

Congratulations, and good luck!

Nice shooting! I'm going to hunt with mine next season. See you Sunday.

Congratulations on a late kill and great shot!

Congratulations!

Congratulations on your first!

Congratulations!

Very pleased for you.

Congratulations! Sounds like a good one to me.

Congrats and good luck! The 7/08 is a great round.

Congrats. Great memories and meat in the freezer. Doesn't get any better than that.

Congrats!! I like my 7-08 encore. I load 120gr Sierras with H4895.

Congrats! I really like my FA 7-08, I haven't run any 120's in it yet. Groups really good with 140's

Thanks guys. Not sure if I'm going to be able to go after them this weekend. Mother Nature is going to rain on my plans so I'll just have to wait until next week. No big deal. We have until January 24 in this part of Louisiana.

Congrats, Thad B.
