That load of Swiss should really be scooting that big ole conical right along. Sure hope you have a report that has something on the end of that bullet rather than a stump - cause you are not going to believe how hard that thang hits a whitetail...

Well,that's what you callThump the stump. There's nothing like confidence in a gun and load. Better luck next time out - stump stew is terrible unless the stump has an awful lot of grubs in it.
