1st with a 357 max - 10/11/2007 12:46 AM

I shot a forky Saturday evening with my 10" 357 max. 180 Hornady SSPB over 21 gr of Lil gun. Shot him at about 45 yds as he was sneaking along the edge of a swamp. It was really thick and I had to pick and opening ahead of him and shoot as he stepped into it. Shot him through both front shoulders and he went down DRT. 4th deer of the season, 1st handgun kill.

Good grief!! It's only bow season up here and you've already thinned the herd. Nice going!!

The bullet got complete penetration with about a quarter sized exit. We took some pics, my bud killed a 6 pt that same evening. I'll have him e mail them to me and post them asap.
