[QUOTE="ShootnMathews, post: 1146638, member: 59915"] My LRH really seems to prefer 4831 over Retumbo. Which are the only two powders I tried in it. I've worked a lot with it to get it shooting where I'm really happy with it. I'm planning on using it on a hunt out west in the neat future for hopefully a mule deer. So, going on with that it's time I start testing the terminal ballistics of this 140 BT. I've located a place at my farm to get a 420 yard shot. I'm planning on seeding the area with corn to try to temp a doe into standing still long enough for a shot. It's going to be like shooting through a pipe. Today I set up my 9" gong precisely where I need the doe to stand and set up to take a few shots. The setup was horrible. I'll have to do some limb trimming before the hunt to ensure I don't hit one. But for today I had to get a rest off of the arm of an old patio chair that was sitting near by and I had no rear support. Honestly my crosshairs were weaving around the target so much I didn't even expect to hit it at all. The first shot was at 3 oclockish on the gong. The second shot to 9 o'clock. So now I just need a doe to stop on a dime and I'll get to test it out. [/QUOTE]
