Hello
My name is Karl. I grew up with long guns and little exposure to pistols beyond a 45/410 contender I got some years ago for grouse on hiking and canoe trips. In effort to find something more exciting to hunt deer with then the mandatory shotgun and gain little more range, I got a 30-30 barrel this winter and have been developing a load with the Barnes flat tipped 150 grain TSX bullet. I have been trying some of the Barnes copper spitzer bullets but haven't found anything great yet. For fun and practice I got a 17 hmr barrel and had great fun with it in a recent prarie dog hunt with reliable head shots to 130 yards.
