Boz330,
Sure would agree about the Killing a white tail needs,
However, considering that elk, deer and bear are open during the same time period for at least part of the general hunting season in Idaho, and the fact that this is my first year to hunt with a cast boolit rifle, I am glad for the flattening of that typical, 45/70 rainbow arch, that my added RUGER #1 velocity is helping to provide.
Yes, it has been awhile since I have taken a critter at over 200yds, but I have also hunted for many years with a rifle that needed zero hold over out to a good distance beyond that figure, so this is going to be a big change in both rifle and mental attitude for the Ol'Coot.
So, for those reasons I welcome the chance to maintain my "center of kill zone" hold from very close and on out to a full 200yds, that my #1 and a 355gr cast LBT is providing.
Will the load be white tail worthy? Yep and worthy of every other critter that could even remotely come my way, plus a bunch.
Keep em coming!
Crusty Deary Ol'Coot
