    Van Horn 30-30 barrel & 110 grain Tac-TX still a deadly combo


    It's no longer mine as it was passed on to our son Andy. But he finally got to bag something with it yesterday. A good friend of Andy's invited him to hunt near Uvalde, TX -- and he didn't have to ask him twice ha ha.

    He sent me this photo last night and said the 110 grain Barnes Tac-Tx at just over 2800 fps MV worked perfectly. He wanted a broadside shot, but it just wasn't happening. So he took a frontal presentation and placed the bullet just where it needed to go. The shot heavily damaged the heart, one lung and the liver. It did not exit but was not recovered, though he was going to dig around in the gut pile in between more hunting today.

    Looks like a chip off the old block Bobby! Congrats!
    It's better to shoot for the moon and hit the fencepost than to shoot for the fencepost and hit the ground!
