Gettin it done with the pistol
« on: August 15, 2013, 12:41:00 AM »
Shot this 250 pound bear this evening. 5'7" from nose to tail. Not even close to my biggest but still a fun and very exilerating hunt. One down. Another one to go!!

Good work!  Are you shooting reloads?  If so what load/bullet are you using?  Congratulations again.  657 is one of my favorite Smiths.
