Ray,

You mean you actually eat those deer and goats? Yuk!

I actually had my 9.3 along this year for the deer hunt but never took it out of the case. Guess I am stuck with my .280. It has never failed me, to date anyway.

Give me that beef that comes on those little foam trays, wrapped in Saran.

2100 FPS sounds pretty slow. But I once worked up a very accurate load for a friend's No. 5 Lee-Enfield jungle carbine using a 200-grain Nosler Partition .308" dia. bullet and IMR 4350 that shot 1" groups @ 100 yards, and had a MV of 2100 FPS. He killed deer and elk with this load, mostly 1-shot kills. Examining the wound cahnnels in these critters, you would not have realized the bullet was moving that slow.....
