I am sure members can tell you what bullet will work best. I read other posts about the same pistol and they were shooting 70 grains of powder. But they were taking deer. Are you going to scope the pistol? As much as I don't need another gun, that would be kind of fun to own.
I am going to scope it. I have to get to looking for one. Haven't had much time with holiday and all. I am gonna use it to take deer here in Georgia where I live. I'm gonna try to stay under 50 yards for now. Got a lot to learn. I have wanted one since it came out and cldnt wait no longer. Did they mention what powder they where usein by any chance?
