I will not be hunting this year because of severe back probs. I would like to relive your hunting experiences by reading your stories. What loads do you expect to use, self=imposed shooting distance, etc.
My deer load was going to be a mihec copy of the rcbs 45 270 saa (288gr with my alloy) pushed by a healthy charge of h110 out of a Henry BBS 20in. bbl or a Ruger bisley bh 7 1/2in. bbl and enough red dot to reach ~800fps. out to 50yds. or less. (100 yds for the rifle.)
Please let me hear about your 45 colt, hunting fun: the loads/rifle/handgun.
Thanks, Bruce.
