Thanks 45r for the complement on the rifle.
I am using the 250grain FTX over Lil' Gun myself....I would have to look up the recipe to see exactly how much, but my chrony showed 'em leaving the business end of my rifle at a little more than 2300, just shy of 2400 if my memory serves me correctly. I had zero signs of pressure issues, and could probably push them harder, but like you, I was getting sub MOA groups, and that was 5 shot groups, so I figure, if it shoots that good, leave it alone! Hoping to add one more deer to the rifle tomorrow. We got about 5 inches of snow yesterday (Jan, 2nd) here in my part of Indiana, and they are calling for between 6-12" more coming in Saturday night/Sunday. This is our last weekend of "Special Antlerless Only" season here, and I need to get my treestands down anyway. So, I am hoping the storm front has them up and moving in the morning. With the snow on the ground, if I pound one, the pictures of the red snow alone should be awesome!
It's not the size of the Dog in the Fight that matters....It's the amount of Fight in the Dog!
