I agree. I was shocked on how well that little guy performed. A couple posters are using that same load and like it. Now here is further proof it works.
We don't need monster holes, double holes and monster bullets to harvest deer. Plus, if people want to pound their shoulder into oblivion or Eenar shooting deer with magnum 110-120 grains of Blackhorn on deer (at under 100 yard harvests 90% of the time) , go right ahead.
Not me, said the offhand shooter. I like my 80-90 grains BH209 use.
