Gregg, yes the BT has been used several seasons and that is why wanting to go to the partition or would try the Accubond if any could be found. The BT is not a problem other than in 2 of the places we hunt. I know that many believe that they could track a deer thru anything but I would like to see them do it in the 2 areas mentioned. The land owner at one place tried looking for a deer with his thermal with no luck. Several of the deer shot with BT's were dead within 100 yds but in the 2 areas THAT IS TOO FAR to track with out a blood trail. WHAT POWDERS DO YOU RECOMMEND ? Daniel


I understand what you are saying about tracking. Tracking blood trails in a pine forest with a good pine straw carpet under it gets to be fun real quick. Try IMR 4831 if you have any. I have had really good success with the 25’s killing game (more in the track kills than any other caliber for me)but If I have a dire need to drop a deer where it stands I shift the cross hairs to the base of the neck. Hogs get head shot almost exclusively.
