I was going to get my Wife a 45Cal Accura, but talked her out of it. She only usually get's to hunt ML Season mabey 2 days so I figured my CVA Kodiak Pro would now become her ML. In the past I guess I hurt the wife just a little too much with the 150gr's of pyrodox.
I usually just let her use one of my already sighted in ML's and that's what I had them sighted in for, I know Im mean! But what kind of a load (loose powder) Tf2f can I get by with and still have enough FPE to harvest a Deer Cleanly say out to 80-100yds? I kind of want to stay with a Hornaday .45Cal 240Gr XTP Mag for the bullet.
I would like to have at least 1000 FPE @ 100yds. She recently had surgery on her wrist (and no not from the 150Gr's either) and she's kind of leary shooting and wants a lesser but deadly load. Any suggestions? I will consider a different bullet, but would like to keep em XTP's.
Also, is there a fromula to determine Bullet weight & Powder Vs Different Yds.= FPE???? BP
