Were these the 1 1/8oz @1300fps or the 1¼oz @1175fps? (Too bad these loads were discontinued.) >:(

Only two defining forces ever died for you.

2. The American Soldier, Sailor, Airman, and Marine.
One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

I would think you could thump one with that.   :anim_25:
Turkeys are as smart as hunters make em and public land offers more classes.
George Washington didn't use his freedom of speech to defeat the British, he shot them.

I am very fortunate that I have several boxes of the 1¼oz #6; enough to last me and all my grandsons for several years to come.

You are on the right track with your planning. Think #7s in HTL and Fed HW and you will see better times ahead.

I did, and the results were all over the place

I would check it at 40 yards.  Probably it is just fine, but I have seen guns do funny things in just 5 yards.  Just my $.02.
