Havent got a chance to take a deer with this load yet but the rifle shoots ragged 1 hole groups with it at 100 yrds. Ill be sure to post pics of the doe i get with it when the doe season opens back up next week.
Shot a doe on saturday with the new load i mentioned above. She was about 80 yards away trotting broadside, bullet went through both lungs and made complete mush out of them, exit hole was about 5/8". She made it about another 10 yards before piling up. I think this is my permanent deer and antelope load. Unfortunately the wife broke the camera taking holiday pics so i dont get to post any graphic photos lol.
