    I've bagged 2 mule deer with the 10mm, 180gr XTP. 65yds and 30yds. Neither went more than 10yds. Bullet worked.

    Self taught with a lot of reading. No internet then (1970). I finally found an LGS owner who cast and he gave me a lot of tips.

    Thanks Larry for the great info and explanation. I shot a lot of the Skeeter loads in the late 70's and early 80's. Sadly my aging body won't handle the recoil anymore. Good memories!
