Hawkeye #2440...1963 vintage. Wonderful little rig. Gary mentioned Goerg’s caribou hunt and that inspired my hunt below.

The .256 Win Mag with 75 gr Hornady FP

35 yds... 74gr retained weight after the big doe went 45 and fell. Hit her behind last rib and bullet was recovered from front leg socket. The internals were mush from that little bullet which is evident below from the entry hole when I rolled her over.
