[QUOTE="Kenster-Boy, post: 83185, member: 2330"] Well, I would be able to tell ya all you need to know but man the F'in angles messed me up this deer season. I shoot a savage 112BVSS in 7 RM with 175 smk. I missed 2 bucks at 833 10 TIMES!!!

Oh well maybe before your season opens I will have a kill under my belt that I can share the results with. How well does your 7mag shoot the 175 smk?
