  Not yet, but it's getting packed for my upcoming mule deer hunt. To be fair, it's going to be a slim chance I get to use it since it's a backup/opportunity gun alongside the .243 Tikka I am using, and mule deer isn't exactly what one would call "close range" hunting in many, if not most, cases. But, if I don't get a chance to try it on meat this year, it will be coming out for whitetail next year. Sorry I can't give you a bette report than that yet. With any luck, I'll have a muley at 100 yards or less and at that distance, I am 100% confident in this load's accuracy. Terminal performance will be the question and hopefully I'll have you a good answer. Based on it's ability to blow clean through about 6 wet phonebooks, I know it will handle the soft tissue penetration, but as you said, bone is always the real test.

  Accuracy: because white space between bullet holes drives me insane.

  Thanks for your reply. I'm hoping to try it out this year on a Ky whitetail launched from a Super Redhawk (7 1/2") equipped with an Ultradot scope. I'll post results if successfull.

  Please do. If you get a kill, see if you can get some pics of the terminal effects. I don't mind a little gore to get the picture of how thnings behaved when the bullet hit.
