And you can take deer in the eye with a 22, that does not make it wise or ethical. I can't argue with results, I dont know you or your shooting ability or hunting techniques, and looks like a good hunt, but I will stick to full power loads with heavy well built bullets through the lungs or heart.I shot this deer several years ago with my 223, 40 gr. Hp with 4.0 hrs. Of unique power. Shot him in the neck at about 50 yards.
Too little powder in the case can cause detonation and blow the gun up. Are you using a filler to take up tge extra space in the case?
