Thank you all

Last spring I found TFL. I was looking to learn the art of reloading. With the help of the sticky I put together a list of equipment I would need to get started. I had many dumb questions to ask & many of the members here stepped up to the plate & answered them thank you all. I spent the summer buying equipment , powder , primers & searching the web for recipes. ( Ken Waters ) Caught him chasing a doe jest off a little known bedding area day four of the Mich. firearm deer season. Seven point with a 17.75 out side spread
Dressed at 173 lbs. A 20 yd. shot with a Marlin 45/70 350 gr. Oregon trail cast Bullet with a gas check pushed by 50 gr. of IMR 3031at about 1750 fps. I was vary impressed with this load. I was able to cut right up to the wound channel. Extra sweet my first hand loads. Heading to the U.P. in the morning for the smoke pole hunt will respond next week. ( pic two is the exit wound )

Thanks all
