How about those Contender/Encore hunters?

[Jpete]

I enjoy hunting with handguns, especially single shots. Javelina I took with a 45 Win Mag about 60 yards

Kilt this pig the other day with a 30-30, about 80 yards

Started hunting with Contenders 35 years ago. 309 JDJ (right) is my favorite cartridge followed by 257 JDJ (left)

150 yd. shot rested off a fence post top with small sandbag, not bipod. Through the lungs, stumbled a bit and dropped right there.

Fantastic site! About time. We handgun hunters are the Rodney Dangerfield of hunters/gunners. We can keep up with the rifle guys. Here's proof.
I'll get it started with my best 2 Encore kills. "Big Boy" full blown charge, 12 yds.!!, SSK .416 Talor, 400 gr. Shot right betwixed the eyes. "Little Boy", SCI #4, 475#, full blown charge, 20 yds., DRT!!, .416 Taylor, special made lead "ballistic tip", 400 gr

That’s the last thing that charged me Doc, 45 Colt at about 8-10 paces.
Can’t BS ya though, that was my snake gun loaded with shot.
