You started inlining?
I went from service level loads in a repop 1853 Enfield, to a Traditions Tracker.
I thought that big bore magnum handgun power levels would be a good start and to that end, shot TC Cheap Shots with 40 gr of 3f T7. Muzzle velocity 1350 fps.
Good load! 8 deer lost their will to live.
I now shoot 2 other .50's with loads in the 454 Casull class. Superb results.
I've killed deer from 15 feet to 150 yards with these modest, by today's standards, loads. I see no need to bump it up a notch.
So. Did you have a power level in mind or did your pet loads just evolve?
