Filled the first tag of three I have this year yesterday with a mature whitetail doe. It was an antlerless only tag. It was the first day of Iowa's second shotgun season But I chose to use my Lyman Great plains 54 instead of my trusty Remington model 870.THe load used was with a bullet I cast my self. Which I have deep satisfaction with. It was a Lyman #533476 minie paper patched out to .545 with two wraps of 20 lb paper lubed with wonder lube 1000. in front of 80 grs of Triple Seven with a CCI #11 magnum cap. The shot was at 80 yds the dropped where she stood. The sheer power of a big piece of lead traveling at moderate velocity is truly amazing. The doe weighed 115 lbs after field dressing.
