RE: Successful ML Season
I stuck with the Hornady XTP MAG's and 2 - 50 gr. pyrodex pellets. I do plan to try different loads/projectiles next year (our nice weather is rapidly disappearing!) and devote more time to shooting the gun. The shot was at about 60 yds. - hit right behind the shoulder, destroying the lungs. Deer didn't go much further than 15 yards.
You are right about being hooked - and I think my younger son has also now been bitten by the bug!!
