Mine was a 100yd shot straight on to chest (deer was looking right at me and would not turn). Dropped right where it was hit. Upon field dressing, lungs were completely destroyed.
Doing some load development for my Mossberg MVP and wondering what powders to try initially. Mine is the 24” barrel varminter. Just loaded up some Hornady 55gr V-Max, 55gr Nosler CT and regular BT over H335. Twist rate is 1-9”. Thinking Varget and maybe 748?
Had my 444 out to the range today and tried some 300gr Hornady XTP with H335. Bottom is 3 shots at 50grs and top is 51grs. It’s only 50yds, but shows some promise.
Would anyone have Sierra data for the 300gr? I have quite a few and just wondering what a good powder would be to try first.

My eyes aren't what they used to be, so looking for suggestions for scoping my lever action. Was thinking low powered variable with Weaver see through rings just as a backup?

Thanks for the suggestion. I might have to give them a try. I only have the 180gr BTSP, but will pickup a box of the ELD-X. I have quite a few powders (IMR & H4350, RL22, W760, H4831, RL19)
I just can't get the 180's to shoot well. Have tried the BT and AB over H4350, RL22, W760. Just does not like them. I'm ok with 150-165 though. Just strange. Was going to try some 180 Hornady and see if any better.
Liked the Patriot so much, I bought a MVP as well :)
