Well, it’s about time to get serious here. Deer season is nearly upon me so I took the 700ML out to verify my huntin’ loads for this year. Decided to try the .430 300g XTP this year. I’ve killed deer w/the .452 version both MAG and non MAG but since cayugad and Falcon speak so highly of this one I thought I’d give it a try. If nothing else, they sure shoot well.

I had some FPBs that I’ve never shot before in my box. I bought them on clearance last year at Walmart so just for fun I loaded them up. Don’t know why but I changed to 85g of 777 for the next 3 shots.

Well-well-well, how about that?
Pretty impresive. I might have to try them out this year. I’m going to Mississippi for a hog hunt in Nov, this might just be the bullet I try. In fact, they impressed me so much, I brought the Genesis to the range yesterday and to see how well they shot out of it. The 700 shoots everything well so I was curious w/the Genesis' QLA if it would shoot as good as the 700. Turns out, about the same. I’m pretty sure I pulled that one high. Even so, still ok with me.

I'm pretty impressed by that FPB. Lord willin' I'll test one out on a hog next month and see if they perform on game as well as they do on paper.
