Thanks for the replies. I think I'll get some 250gr gold dots and set the rifle up. I really like this rifle. First hunting shot out of it was a nice doe on the ground when the smoke cleared. Next shot was a mature 9 pt. Don't think I had a single complaint until I ran out of the lead SSBs and tried the SSTs. Deer seemed to be running way too far.

I suspect I may loose a little traj. but I was beginning to think I'd need a spotting scope to decide on the age of does if they got much further away. The 10x50 nikon binocs and the 10x scope just werent always enough, and if they moved around much, and changed places in the field, it was like a shell game.

I'd love to try some .40's but here in Illinois they arent legal. Must have a minimun of .45
