My trapper is my number one rifle for bush hunting. I have the muffs but haven't tried them hunting yet. I spooked 5 deer on my last hunt, maybe with the muffs I would have heard them first...
Sierra 125gr HPFN for fallow, Hornady 170gr FN for reds, FTX for longer shots.

42.5 grains of AR2208 is looking good at the range for me, I haven't worked out max load yet, and I'm yet to see how the ELD-X performs on deer.

I need to put something on the deck with new-to-me sako 75 270 so 150 SGK @2900 for me

@Paddy My hearing is shit waay to much unprotected shooting & noisy work place from a young age reckon id trade feel & smell for amplified hearing in the bush any day of the week ,I can watch the feckers browsing on bushes 40 meters away & not hear them that great , bit of background noise not at all just as well im like a cat in the bush (hairy feet) they cant hear me either , stag loads big & heavy beats light & fast anything less than a 308 using 165BT ,s is a recipe for disaster & don't leave home without a decent beard I stopped trimming a month ago back included , wont be grooming till after the first Saturday in may by which time with a bit of luck my fence will be sagging with stag heads & il be surrounded by breasts , Good luck.

Smacked a roaring red 8 pointer over the other evening at half a km with a 150gr Nosler LRAB 270win a easy job for the hound to find after a hour and twenty minutes climbing across and down in the dark to retrieve, the downside of shooting long range. The rest of my roar hunting will be with my 300 blackout close up and personal 168gr Lehigh Defence CF subsonics only if my knee heals in time.
