Well, I finally had an opportunity to go hunt a few days up at my lease in South west Georgia openning week of modern gun.
I just had to try out my brand new 520 grain FN .438" Steve Brooks Paper Patched bullets. That doe didn't go thirty yards before falling over deader than a door nail.
It hit so hard I heard the whump of the slug when it hit. The mephlat was .25"...quite a sledge hammer when driven from my Shiloh "Hartford" 30" heavy barrel backed by 70 grains of compressed Goex Express FFg and a 1/8" grease cookie.
I can't wait to try them out on a nice large buck at Thank Giving.
