.
In addition to great performance on game, the accuracy out of my Omega X7 is "quite satisfactory".
That has been my go-to load for the X7 for the last three years.

Congrats Van. I could never get 240 weight class bullets to shoot well for me. I always had excellent results with those in the 300 gr weight class

Well with his old eyes he's going to have to use one of his Sinful Sisters!

Funny you should say that Ed. For the last three or four years the .45 Sinful Sister with your 460-grain conical has been my go-to gun on opening day morning. But this year I'm dealing with right arm and shoulder pain and weakness. I decided to use the easy carrying X7 because it's a few pounds lighter than the Renegade with that 1" across-the-flats barrel.

Anyway, the .45 Sinful Sister with your conicals already has three deer to its credit, and all of the other guns keep shouting "pick me, pick me."

Here's an oldie, but a goodie.

That's about right Clem. These days I pretty much have to hang with either scopes or peeps. Open sights give me fits.
