Hey Catus Magnus I appreciate your concern about my bullet and powder combination. I've been using this for about 5 years plus now. I hunt elk here in utah and other states. I dont beleive I'm pushing my luck at all with this load and it is very effective with elk, deer, and antelope and I also beleive that dispatching your game as fast as humanely as possible is a very important thing to consider when choosing a hunting load. That is why I choose to shoot this combination.
