Default RE: Minimum load for deer

In my optima I used a 200 grn shockwave with around 80 grns(if I remember) of pyrodex. I set this up for my girlfriend who doesn't get along with much recoil.(or anything else!)

This load killed some deer out to 80 yrds. After I bought a gun for her so I could have mine back I upped the powder to get better expansion.
