Late season cow tag - Stephen Borud - 11-22-2015

I was fortunate enough to take a cow elk this morning with my 50 Sharps.

She was at around a 150 yards facing away.
I put my front sight at the base of her head pulled the trigger. Lights out.

Thanks Dave, good luck on your hunt!

Good show Stephen.
The bullet is interesting Is it short or deep seated?

Kurt

I just enlarged the picture. That bullet is good for a lot of fast reload if needed.

That's just way to cool Stephen. Thanks much for posting this.

RE: Late season cow tag - Stephen Borud - 11-22-2015

Thanks Don. It wasn't an easy hunt. We walked a good 5 miles today when it was all said and done. The snow was like walking on ice down these steep hills. I fell down once, kept the Sharps up high though ?. This is the first elk I have killed with a Sharps. I was very pleased.

Thanks
Stephen

Kurt I designed and built this mold. It's seated in the case .250, .494 OD with 9 lbs onion skin paper. I've killed a few antelope with this same bullet. It performs well.

Thanks
Stephen

Fantastic! Out of an Accurate mold?

RE: Late season cow tag - Stephen Borud - 11-22-2015

Nope, I built the mold in my shop.
