Reeder Skorpion-10MM Magnum revolver takes a deer

[475/480]

Thank the LORD I was able to go hunting at a friends place close to Hallettsville,Tx . Took this spike buck (1x4) at 22 yards using the 10MM mag - shooting 180 gr XTP's at 1350 fps. The shot was right  behind the shoulder and out the opposite side ribs, deer traveled about 50 yards, very good blood trail.

Congrats!  That's awesome.

Wish we could have seen what expansion the bullet got.  Doesn't matter though, it clearly did its job.

Congrats on the deer isn't that kind of a light load for the 10mm magnum?

Yes ,
It will do 1500+ fps, but I thought the 1350 fps would be plenty for deer with the Hornady 180 gr XTP.
