[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 115102, member: 2011"] I went to one of those buffalo gun shoots where rifles like yours were the only ones permitted. They were shooting prone w/cross stick on the barrel at 500 meter rams. Peep sigths and some tubes were used. Two things amazed me: 1) The fella I was watching hit 5 rams for 5 shots. When I set his targets I noted the hits. If it would have been a group it would have been on the order of roughly not more than 5 inches. 2) They were shooting pure lead bullets and a hit made about a 2 inch wafer. So, hitting a deer out there a ways would be no problem if shot was properly chosen. I'd think that some amount of expansion would be well, but I know nothing about cast bullet performance. You hunt sounds like fun and you seem to have earned it. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
