Recovered a 117 BTSP Hornady from #1 son's Roberts with IMR 4350....42.5 grains, a mild load but max according to the manual I used in 1988 (still use this manual)......he shot a spike buck in Mississippi with this very accurate load through the front right shoulder at 80 yards and I recovered the bullet after it smashed the left shoulder. Deer DRT. Since that kill, and especially since we now are more likely to see large hogs we have switched to the Partition. Also have increased considerably the powder charge for the rifle. But, those mild loads are always available for our grandchildren and ladies. That's what makes the Roberts such a great round.
