RE: 300 grain dead center effectiveness on deer
When I called PR, they suggested since I was shooting whitetails, I should try their 200gr Dead Center. I took that advice, even though I thought a heavier bullet would be better. Well, because I was short on time, I stuck two pellets ( I prefer loose powder. ) and a 200gr DC in my Encore and made smoke. Five shots in a two inch group at 100 yds was good enough but I still think I can do better fine tuning a loose load. And the deer I shot with the 200.... Well, on a head-on hit in the chest at 50 yds the deer was knocked off it's feet and didn't require any tracking. Get the picture? I will be using the DC's for a long time. Oh, and they load easy too! Jim
