I hunt in South GA. 95% of my shots are under 200 yards.

I choose a good bullet...start at the medium powder charge...then increment charge up to the best accuracy...at which point I stop.

I am fortunant to see enough deer during the season that I can wait on a good angle. We can leagally kill 10 deer in Ga. There is no need to be in a hurry and that makes it easy to pass questionable shots.
