Hey guys,
I have been trying to post a response for a couple of days, for some reason the site would not allow me access.
I took another deer on Saturday evening, last 10 mins of the last day of the season.
The shot was about 75 to 80 yards in fading light. I am not sure if it was my fault, the bullet, the fading light or the scope maybe having been bumped, but my shot went about 6 inches higher and maybe an inch or two to the right than my point of aim. The hit was very effictive, high in the back just behind the shoulder blades. Fair amount of tissue damage and broke the back resulting in a solid knockdown immediate incapacitation. Followup shot ended things, but would rather have not had to do business that way. Don't like "sloppy" and can't live with flyers (mine, the gun's or the bullet's) that range more than a couple of inches.
I'll do some extensive shooting at the range to experiment with some loads and rounds. I think the aerotips look like a good bet.
Thanks
Hank
