MD,you're not the only one who's sounding a little dated....My first deer was taken with an early Ruger 77 in 7x57 using a 154 grain Hornady round nose...end for ended the deer and weighed 126 grains when we found it in one of the steaks. Two years ago...and 40 years later... I used a 150 gr. out of an '06....didn't realize until later it was a pre-Interlock bullet purchased back in 1972. Hornadys worked then, and they work now. My go to bullet.
