Forgot to mention bullet performance. Dead deer really quick, so in my scientific opinion it worked well . Pass through, so no bullet recovery. Seems contrary to modern opinion that a bullet needs to be doing mach 5, but 2200 fps worked just fine. A perfect .257 hole on entrance (really hard to see through the fur actually), guessing around 3/8" on exit. Good blood trail, even though I could see the fallen deer from where it was shot.
