Well, I sighted in at 75 yds. using 75 gr. Pyrodex RS (powder). I shot a button buck yesterday. I was all ready to come out of the stand, only thing left to do before descending was lower the rifle, and here he came. He was real close, I slipped the rifle back out of the case and tried to find him in the scope. I'm not a big scope fan to begin with, but have used this one since it was on the rifle when I took it in on trade. It's a crappy, no-namescope with a blurry image at any range.Anyway, I picked up his blurry body, sighted and shot. He was only 16 yards away. Hit the shoulder and he dropped immediately.

Later examiniation showed the bullet shattered his shoulder and then went on to break a rib on the opposite side, but didn't exit. The bullet mushroomed pretty well. I recovered the main slug, which was about 158gr. and two fragments, one about 8gr. and the other about 12gr. I suppose I might find a couple more fragments during dinner.

Thanks again for all the advice.
