Was out trying a few loads today. Fired a round extracted it. Turned to get the next one as I slide it in out walks a deer. Right up to my target then causally walks behind it stopping briefly to look around. It was an awesome view in 4x cross hairs!!! Filled the view completely. Hope to get that view again in November!

At 79grains of RL7 am just @2284 ES 19 SD 8. Plan is to shoot 78, 78.5, 79, 79.5 figure theres a node in here somewhere.

Definitely on the max end here. The XPB has nearly as much base to canelure as the 500 FP/XTP and more beyond the canelure. Forcing charges to be more like the heavier 500 then the 350 & 400's.
