I currently shoot the federal Power-Shok 180 gr. Used Remington Core Lokt 180 gr for years, but they discontinued it. Shot my first elk with 150gr. Decided to use the 150gr in case of a longer shot. I have 3 model 99s. One was grandpas, one was his brothers and the other dad bought back in the 70s. Have killed many deer with them. Grandpa lived near Smethport in Pa. He always called the 99 'ole meat in the pot'. I try to take at least one deer with them each year.


We pray our sights be straight
and our aim be true
We pray for no pain
to the game we pursue
We thank you Lord
for this land
We thank you for the sights
from our stands
We pray for safety, one and all
We pray we may return next fall
