That is a nice deer, and I like the paint job on the MT. I'm curious about the velocity, do you load them down for a reason?

Yes I picked the bullet and reduced speed because I had open heart surgery about 10 months ago. I'm pretty much pain free now but I shot that load during the spring and summer months and didn't see a need to switch to hunt. Maker of the Frankenstud Sling Keeper

I'm pretty much pain free now but I shot that load during the spring and summer months and didn't see a need to switch to hunt. Makes sense! I am loading the 150 NBT in my 280 AI MT and I know I'm leaving 50-100fps on the table. The recoil was noticeably more with the higher velocity. I decided I wasn't that tough.
