The new 120 "Hunting BT" in 6.5 and 7mm hold together just about perfect for me. I have not recovered on yet and

I go for the heart and/or lungs and like for them to run 50 yards or so to let the muscles push the blood out a little.
I do not like a lot of shoulder damage if I can prevent it.
just my 2 cents.


New from Midway 3 years ago.
Three consecutive shots, three dead deer isn't going to give one much to complain about and a whole lot of other guys have had the results I was looking for. Exit hole.
I loaded 20 rounds of this lot. Shot 3 to see if they were on. Chronographed seven (liked shooting them) so I had another ten to hunt with. After I shot those deer I chronographed 2 more and they were right in there.
I'm willing to chalk up the no exits on those three deer as one of those unexplainable things that happen shooting game and I'll probably be trying them again. My confidence in them, however, is shaken and far lower than before I shot the first buck.

BE STRONG IN THE LORD, AND IN HIS MIGHTY POWER. ~ Ephesians 6:10

Socialism is a philosophy of failure,
the creed of ignorance,
and the gospel of envy,
its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.
