In a couple of weeks I am going to go over to the Olympic Peninsula to hunt coastal blacktailed deer. Cover is thick, shots are short, and the deer aren't terribly large. I am going to be taking several guns and loads for this trip, but one that I am really looking forward to hunting with is the .357 Maximum Ruger Super Blackhawk loaded with the 208 grain cast HP based on the Lyman 358627 design.

Now THAT looks like quite a slug! In my opinion, that is what the Max was designed for, heaving a heavier slug at a fast pace rather than attempting to turn a light slug into greased lightning. Hope you get a crack at a nice one with that projectile, for science you know!

Let us know how it goes. That round looks like it has some authority.

That is an awesome looking bullet!!! Please post results when you get a chance to put one through something.

Be interested in knowing what area your huntin'. Born and raised spent 30 plus years in Forks. Only get back to vist ever other year or so but still have friends there. Dennis

I'll be hunting outside of Sequim.

well, if I am up to it, we might head over to the Burnt Mountain/Beaver area where i filled my tag!
