You're right about that. A so called deer here dress out to about 50 or 60 lb max. I'm sure I'll hear from some of my deer huntin' buds about the big deer they killed last year. I still think they (the deer) need to grow some. I'm looking for a bullet that won't fragment into dust when hunting. I do shoot a lot of paper. I do load 35gr Varmint Grenade, 50gr, 55gr, 69gr Honrady, Nosler and Sierra bullets with good results. I use H335 and BLC (2) powder.
