I imagine the 180 grain will work just fine on a deer. My R was shooting 8-10" high (I estimate) at 50 yards, if not a little more. The front sight appears to have been way too short, an observant forum member saw how low it sat in one of my pictures. I'm going to swap the front out, and mic the differences in height for reference. Also going to install a Lyman folder while I am at it, as I plan to install a Marble peep on the tang if all goes well with the irons.
