Less deer hunting than normal as I burned most of my time off out west with a rifle (sacriligious!)


Nice big 9-pt, 200 yds, typical load of 200SW and 110gr 777. Typical result, bang-flop and pass-thru.

Hunted a morning of ML season for the first time in years, with my elk load. 300 bonded SW and 130gr 777, bang-flop, hit a little high so didn't pass through more than 6 inches of flesh, no bone to hit, no expansion. No surprising for a hard heavy bullet.
