Not dead enough. What choke/load combo, and what distance are you shooting at?
I wouldn't hunt with that.

Hmm, no, that's harassment.

Still need some work on load/choke tube combination.

10 hits in the brain and spine.  Would kill, but there is not the density of shot that would make me comfortable shooting that combo.

looks like some more test bench time and load choke combos are needed.

Too far for lead. Would be an unethical shot.

Dead at 35 yards. At 60 yards one in ten ya might recover. Go back to the range and find where your rig stops putting 90-100 in the 10 and that's as far as you should go. Tricked out guns shooting the best of hand loads struggle at that range.

Consider trying a box of HTL if your looking for a 40 plus yard gun.

Call him in close and don't worry about shooting at 60 yards.

i dont shot at 60 i wouldnt take a shot over 35, im just comparing to the 300 in a ten other that what target you see here is wasted shot, this is a 4x 9 target, so if your shooting at a 10 '' target there is 3'' on both sides of the head thats wasted shot,,,,

Why is there even a discussion about pattering a 60 yard shot on this board?   :TrainWreck1:
