I went back to my friends house today to put the finishing touches on sighting in my GP100 with the three different loads that I have been able to get to hunt deer with.

At 44 yards which I measured with a range finder the Barnes VOR-TX 140 GR loads printed two shots a little less than 3/4" apart about a inch above a black X that I had put on the target with a black marker.

The Federal 158 gr sjsp load printed two holes just a little more than 1" apart and even with the X and 1/2" to the left. This was at 44 yards als0.

The Buffalo Bore 158 gr sjhc are not grouping very well at 44 yards.

I have been able to pick up another box of the Barnes 140 gr at a local flee market for $22 a box and plan to pick up another box there tomorrow.

I think I will hunt deer with the Barnes load and plan to keep my shots to 50 yards or less.

I do plan to go back to my friends house in a couple of weeks and maybe take a couple of shots at 75 yards just to see how they group at that distance.

All of my shooting has been with open sights using a red HIVIZ front sight. I really like this sight.

Which load would you use the Barnes or the Federal 158 gr sjsp?
