Default short range (15 to 50 yrd load) load idea

silver eagle 50cal.

Heck Corey - at that range, you could use a rock! I don't think you can pick a wrong bullet at this range. And 80 gr should be plenty.

I would just attach a bayonet on the end of your gun and go that route.otherwise any of those bullets would work with that load .

That is a very good roundball range, if your rifle shoots them well.

How close range it is. That is why i been bow hunting there but my bow has seen less attention then my guns in the last 6 months. Needs an new string. May buy an new one.
