I use 48 grains of IMR 4227 powder with a 300 grain Hornady SST. I have a 150yd zero with 4" drop @ 200 yds. At 200 yds the bullet still smashes right throughthe deer, unfortunatly I have never recovered a bullet but they sure do perform good. I shot around 20 deer with that gun. Its my favorite gun but as bailey said just no follow up shot if need be. My 2nd favorite gun is my Savage Model 12 heavy bbl Varmiter in .22-250. It took a nice 6pt and 2 does last season by my brother in law.

As long as I'm not chasing trespassers that are color blind and can't read, it should be a good day. No rain, no wind. Time to start filling the chest freezer

Hopefully at this time tomorrow we are all bruising our shoulders letting lead fly lol. After a few phone calls and eliminating a few out of the mix i am headed to the spot i planned on hunting originally. There is a buck outside the ears and at least 15 inches in height there it'll be interesting to see who gets him. On the bright note there are 14 people hunting property that backs up to the one we hunt and my stand is in the funnel connecting them. Gonna be fun. Jim that is a shooting machine you have there. I will own a smokeless soon i hope.
