    I worked my way up to a load he had luck with and must say it oughta spell death to a deer. I am shooting the MP 640 Devastator clone plain base and powdercoated. I can’t wait to get back and stretch out to 100 yards and hopefully see how it performs on a deer. Click image for larger version.

    I wish I could see Larry's work collected in a book.

    It has been discussed before, but, no one has followed through with a compilation. It would be a ton of work.

    Those SRH's love cast boolits. My 9" 44 shoots 240, 250, 270 and 310 gr better than I can hold the gun and on the bags, it is a rifle! All with a 2x Leupold. Show us a pic of that boolit.Attachment 302956 Here is the 270 gr NOE it really likes. When you stick one of yours in a deer, let us know.

    Yes, Mr. Larry is a plethora of shoot'n knowledge, and someone with the time and money to fund the task of getting in his head and putting it to paper would make a fortune in return on the investment.
