Default RE: 2007 Buck down

I was still shooting the 460 grt plains as I was elk hunting until yesterday with it. It dropped in its tracks with a front shoulder shot but I did finish it off to be fair to the buck. I think I may go and sight in the 385 gr grt plains tomorrow and I will play with some still powder loads. Though the general deer season is over the end of the month I do have a special 3 tag deer hunt on the Wainwright Alberta army base. I was going to take a 30 yrd moving shot on it but I forgot to set the trigger and I grunted with my voice twice and he stopped just under 100 yrds and I shot.
I did up my powder 2 weeks ago from 80 to 90 grs so the drop was not the 10 inches that I was used to, which is good because I should have aimed a little higher.
