RE: Have you considered ............
If the load shoots good for you, chances are it will kill a deer. In my sidelock, 90gr RS & a 385gr Great Plains works good.In my Omega I like a 250gr Shockwave, and most recently a 240gr Cheap Shot under a130gr charge. Although my sidelock isn't for shots much over 100yds, when I take my Omega out I want something that will shoot flat to 200yds for the open-country muleysof western Nebraska. A heavy charge and an aerodynamic bullet means less drop at extended ranges. More forgiveness for range estimation and holdover. That's not something to worry about with open sights, you won't be shooting that far anyways.
