I didn't have much time to fiddle with load development this year and simply used a 325gr ftx with orange mmp sabot and 67gr of H4198 for 2275fps out of my MLII. Got a 4x4 big bodied canadian whitetail yesterday. I was bleating and this fellow came hauling ass right towards me, head down. He jumped a fallen tree and when he landed I pulled the trigger at 12yards. He died instantly. The bullet entered just behind his right year, went down inside all his vertebrae destroying them and I found the bullet under the scapula on his left side. That's alot of bones to go through at almost point blank range. This is an outstanding bullet and I will use it next year again. Jacket weighed 74gr.
