Yes, I was thinking the same thing - once I got my new ML sorted out that is. Lower the powder charge due to the Cheap Shots being "only" 240gr and still get a decent shooting projectile for cheaper than the Hornady/Nosler sabot combos! I mean at $3.99 per 20ea at Cabelas, its 2/3rds the cost and for sixty of them at that. Should be less powder to shoot, easier on the recoil ... what's not to like? Time will tell if this all works out though - from my 30/30 and 30-06 hunting days using Remington soft points I can't imagine why this all lead projectile wouldn't be deadly on deer sized game if the guy behind the trigger did his part.

I'll be digging into whatever I hit with my ML so will have pictures on anything recovered. LOL! Note I'm a big heart/lung shot believer so don't go for any bone shots typically - will all that time in the field and invested in each trip, I hate to waste even 1/2lb of game, etc.

I'm sure I'll be in the same boat as you - use the CCI #11 Magnums in a pinch, but will locate/procure the RWS #1075s long term. I can make a Friday afternoon run as long as I have a couple days notice and I'm not tied up at work - note the tri-cities area is a 3.5-4hr drive for me. There's a new Sportsmans Warehouse opening up in Federal Way this week - I'll try to get down there to check out the ML supplies and buy if they have the right kind of stock. Frankly speaking, I'm so new at all this I still don't know what most (good) things/supplies look like!

cheers,
phil

ps: I can't way for my new baby to arrive!
