Not all combinations work. I got lucky and stumbled into this load and it is a dandy. The big thing is the type of paper and the hardness of the lead. Ron

Yes this is high desert and it is a limited draw hunt. I actively hunt elk and I am probably better at hunting elk than I am deer. I just love big old muley bucks. Ron

Great shot! That is a very nice buck. Interesting rifle/load as well. That's a lot of walking to get a buck . Us easterners would probably keel over after the first couple miles...
