For bigger game, same gun and scope 180 grain hand load Nosler Partitions. Second deer season Browning A Bolt stalker 308. Hand loaded 150 grain Nosler Partitions. Third season T/C woods rifle 50 caliber muzzle loader. 300 grain Hornady XTP's. Peep sight. The Browning has a very old Redfield 2x7 tracker scope. I have had it for thirty years. Still works perfect.

Hmmmm....

Probably my Marlin 30-30 with 170gr Remington core-lokt rounds. Or, I could try to get closer with my Remington 870 Express 12GA and slugs or 00 Buck.

Remington 700ml inline muzzle loader with a 3x9 bushnell. The load is 95 grns of 777 fffg and 350 grn Precision Bullets. It's 2.5 inches high at 80 yards and 3 inches low at 150 which is my max shot where I hunt.

I live in southern MI by the way, no centerfire rifles allowed. Other wise I would probably get a H&R .243 instead.
