This year going to do some hunting in east Texas, Pretty thick land where they do controlled burns and the trees are planted in actual patterns. You can see a ways, maybe 150 yards if you can line up just the right row of trees. Decided to power up my 45 Colt Rossi carbine via some Paco Kelly load data. Worked up to 26 grains of H110 under a 240 grain Hornady mag XTP. No sign of pressure other than the light little rifle with it's steel buttplate gets brutal if your just wearing a Tshirt. Seemed to shoot best with 24.0 grains so that is what I decided to load. The rifle with it's 16 inch barrel is just too short for me using irons so I topped it with a Burris scout scope 2 3/4 power I think. Not as fast as I was with 25 year old eyes and irons but I can put 3 under 4 inches at 150 yards.
Rick, I'll chime in when I'm done staring at your avatar. If you don't hear from me I'm not finished.
