I finally got to shoot the Raging Bull with the scope on it today. I am very impressed with this gun. I went to a friend's ranch to help with some electrical work and after finishing we did some shooting. From the headquarters building we shot across the creek at rocks on the canyon wall about 150+ yds away. Shooting across the truck hood and using a corrugated box for a rest I was able to hit football sized rocks easily. The deer are in a lot of trouble this fall. I will try it out on prairie dogs this week end. Overkill? I am shooting the Lee 476-400 boolit with 21 gr. H-110 as recommended on this forum. I sized them .476 and lubed with 50/50 + 10 % carnuba red. No leading and a shiny bore. Fun shooting!

overkill, No way!

Aim small all summer . . .
Hit small on deer this fall.

Should get you used to shooting at and correcting for unknown distances also.
