A few years ago, I finally found a very flat ML load with 130gr 777 ffg and 250gr Barnes expander with alot of work. I wanted less than 2MOA performance and found it. Well, I planned on only using it in the swamps where my shots can be easily 120yards. But I like it for all shots. I shot a doe yesterday at 30 yards and it was dead before it hit the ground. Exit hole was big as a golf ball.I blew outthe heart and saw blood blowing out the bottom.Found the slug and petals were bent all the way back. I have yet to see such a devastating load.
Sure, its not needed, killed dozens with my XTP and 95gr pyrodex, and 90gr goex and 350gr maxihunter, but sure is fun to see the terminal performance of such a high powered load.
Amen, now that sounds like an excellentload and and an excellentbullet, and you can use it for "all shots". Amen again, that is the way it should be very very confident of your load and bullet.
