Noway....you are correct. I don' t do any off season shooting. In fact, this will only be my second deer hunt with a rifle. So therefore I really don' t know much about the ammo at all. That' s why I came to the experts. I mainly deer hunt with my bow, but I have an opportunity to go to Canada for free. So what the heck. I' m jumpin on the chance. I don' t feel the need to get ammo that will split a buck' s eyelash at 200 yards, but would like to make sure that I get an ammo that I feel confident in. I appreciate all of your help!! Thanks
