What year was the "Ace of Spades" taken?

October 2008, killed by Ronny Lambeth from Edmond, Ok, the buck scored 197 2/8 and made B&C, I've actually seen the mount, it's a giant.

Thanks for showing me that buck and taking my exhilaration of taking the first deer of the season, to the depths of depression in just a few moments.

LOL, that's an impressive buck!

Dennis. Is that R-15 .233? And what bullet and load are you using for deer?

Yep, R-15 (bushmaster)
1-9, Hornady .55 grain, #2260, loaded with Varget, chronographed at 3380 fps average.

Its actually my varmint rifle with the Nikon coyote scope, but I really like to shoot it.

I think this is my 10th deer or something with it.

I've got four stripped lowers, just setting around for a build. Already have a .243WSSM in a HBar, but am thinking of a 6.5 rifle length with a can.

I need to get going on the can as I can build an upper in an evening, but the dammed can takes almost a year?
