Default Works fine!

Well it seems that the bullet along with 95 grains of 777 is plenty for South Georgia whitetails! A friend and I were able to attend an early season primative weapons hunt at one of our local public wildlife management areas and were both fortunate to kill a deer. I shot a 4 point with that combination in a Knight Disc Extreme at around 30 yards and he dropped right there. The bullet did not exit but there was a tremendous amount of internal damage. I'm thinking that I could lower the powder charge a bit and still have more than enough to kill the size deer we see here (this one weighed 90 pounds after field dressing him). Our terrain is typically very thick and most of our shots are around 40 yards or so. I just thought that I would give a quick report since I asked about this combo earlier.
