Hey LKNCHOPPERS, nice buck. I also shootthe NEF Sidekick and am very pleasedwith it. I hada high dollarEncore and got rid of it and ended up using the Sidekick. That Sidekick used to be my backup gun. The Sidekick will shoot anything I can put in it. I load a saboted 300gr. XTP with 85 grs. of powder. It had taken deer every year for the last 6 years. One otherthing I did was put a inexpensive 2.5x Tascoscope on it. These tired old eyes needed it. They sell them in Walmart for about $37.00. Best combo I have found for it.

Thats a nice big buck. Im interested to find out the load you used. 60 yard recovery isnt bad.
He said 150g of powder and a PB. I assume 150g of pellets. 60 is not far, but in thick cover like a corn field or tall grass, little blood trail is an issue. Chap Gleason

Chap, he never said the load in his first post. He's updated it since then.
