...I'm thinking of going home to Pa. this deer season to hunt with my life long friend at his camp like in our younger days. Been about 14 years since I've been hunting at home. (From Pa., always from Pa.)
Back in the day, and my buddy, to this day, we used 180 gr round nose bullets. He still loads them for his Amish Machine gun. My last buck was with a round nose.
Since I'm starting from scratch, should I pick a general purpose bullet and hunt there, and here in the west for all manner of big game, or just load something for under 100 yard Pa. white tails? What bullets ??
This hunt will be a memory maker. Buy some RNs, load 'em up and enjoy your trip. It's not about the deer. It's about seeing an old friend and reliving some good times.
