RE: Minimum load for deer
55 grains 777 with .451 180 gr. Hornady XTP or Speer Gold Dot wrapped inside a black Harvester sabot. Real nice 75 yard load.
The other one I developed this past Sundayis 50 gr. 777 using a .451 revolver roundball insidea45/50 black Harvester sabot for a 1-48" Traditions sidelock.
