I haven’t shot my 1917 since last year with some random test loads. I had some Sierra 150 grain game King bullets laying around I tried on deer years ago and was less then impressed out of my 7600. No exits or bloods trails with right behind the shoulder, heart and lung shots. Both deer ran a good 75 yards with zero blood and piled up. Both bullets I found shattered into little fragments on the far shoulders. I figured they would make good plinking bullets fro my enfield. I loaded them up with 56 or 57 grains of H4350 if I remember. I’ll have to dig up the Plinking load. I sighted the gun in with the load as you can see...

Well, I’d like to change bullets to use for deer hunting. My question is how much will my POA change at 100 yards if I goto a 165 or 180 grain bullet? I can always load up a 150 grain Remington core loct or Nosler ballistic tip at the same velocity and see if I’m still spot on worse case scenario. I figured if I’m hitting the X or close to it with 150 grain bullets with my peep slid all the way down I would like to keep things simple and not have to adjust my peep. Any suggestions or words or wisdom?
