I was fortunate enough take take my first handgun deer last year with my Encore barrel in 7mm-08, so this year I set out to try out the .243 win. This guy presented me with a 40 yard, frontal shot and the 95gr Nosler Partitions anchored him after only 30 yards!

It takes 43 muscles to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger squeeze.

Congrats!! I'll be carring my Encore 243 in a couple of weeks to West Tenn. Hopefully I'll get to take a buck, but a big mature doe or two will work just as well.
