That is excellent expansion at such close range, it will sure do very well at longer range. The penetration is super, 5 jugs, wow.

Thanks fellas. I was quite pleased with the performance. I'll provide some field testing in July when we start crop damage deer hunting.
The results should be good.

I need some of those for crop damage deer around here. Catherine keeps threatening the deer. They keep coming back.

I've shot two woodchucks with the new load. Both were instant kills. Sorry I wasn't able to recover the bullets.

While in high school I shot a groundhog with a Remington 180gr Cl from a 30-06. It was all I had and accomplished the objective

Nothing wrong with that logic. I mean you could also feed a baby with a backhoe, but it might get a tad messyWhile in high school I shot a groundhog with a Remington 180gr Cl from a 30-06. It was all I had and accomplished the objective
