The only bullet that was 80% one shooters was the Sierra 165 gr. JHC. 20 % took 2 shots. Shots were out to 60 yards.

My test size was about 20 deer. I get a lot of deer permit/kills- about 100/year.


Do you know what velocities were on those loads?

I was a handgun hunter, when handgun wasn't cool.....
