you folk with rangefinder and dialing up should be able to double that distance with no trouble at all.

I used the interbonds for years and they were good in most situations, esp for eater sized animals but I have lost stags with them with shoulder shots. Thats why I went to the AB for a try. But maybe the 140 Partition would be better ?
Surprised at only 500grms of meat loss MD
Hopefully we can pin down some good loads for spitfire to use and save him a lot of testing
