BB 45 Colt ready for deer season

Post by bdbrown66 » Sun Oct 04, 2020 9:40 am

Final preseason check yesterday. I think she's ready to go. 240gr Hornady XTP Mag over a warm load of Accurate #9. Giving me 1700-1750fps. Should do the job on Bambi. This will be my primary weapon for modern firearm season this fall. I'm zeroed at 75 yards, but this is a 100-yard group.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Looks as if it will do just fine.
May hunt with mine some this year also, but
it'll be with a cast boolit though.
