I have been back out 3 more times.
44 grains of H110 and the Bear Creek 240 HV bullet is a consistent one ragged hole group round at 100 yards.
I could not get lil gun to perform as well with the bear creek bullets
But with my old loading that I got from here, 38 grains of lil gun with the 250 FTX bullet, it also does one ragged hole, perhaps a little larger but for hunting another winner. I tried other loads of lil gun and 38 grains is the most consistent between different rifles.
The point of impact for these loads is almost identical and for hunting purposes, you could hole it same POI.
I had a 250 grain FTX come apart on me with one deer and it did not exit. The deer was DRT, didn't move, but once is enough for me for bullet failure. That is why I switched to the 240 HV BC bullet.
I'll know in a week or two how it performs on deer and hog, but it has a good reputation of staying together and exiting the deer for a good blood trail.
