Title: STI 10MM gets a bobcat.

Thank the LORD I was able to take a nice bobcat with a my STI 10 MM pistol this past weekend . Shooting a 215gr cast bullet at 1220 fps.
I was hog hunting on a small property (48 acres) my friend lets me hunt .At about 5:30PM last Friday I was sitting in a stand overlooking a feeder and small group of acorn trees when this bobcat came out of the trees at about 60 yards walking right at me. The tom stopped at about 35 yards and looked around and then walked a few more yards and stopped, I put the front sight under his chin and he fell at the shot. I walked the distance off at 29 yards.

Nice work! Looks like a decent sized cat.

Was that bullet from your Accurate #200C mold?

Nice patterning on that cat. Any thought toward mounting it?

Very nice cat and gun.

I called in a pair of cats in Jersey last winter, but there is no season for them here.

I had to let them walk..

A really great looking gun there. I cant afford one at the moment but given a good raise I'd have to grab one. Has it been 100% for you?
