Hi lodgepole - Thanks for the idea on 145 gr Grand Slams.. This will be my first time hunting with this rifle, I bought it for my dad to use but when he passed last year I set it up for my nephew to use this year. Now because of school commitments he can't go so I'm going to try and bloody it for him..

Speak softly and use a big bore...
