I shot 3 cartridges. 6 shots each, with cool down after 3 shots, and rotating. 100 yard data listed.

This is purely to help anyone out that buys one.

I have a 5 port muzzle brake from Tikka, and a Backstop recoil pad, otherwise no modifications.

1. Hornady American Whitetail 139g Avg. speed of 2747 fps. Best group .56”

2. Norma Whitetail 150g Avg. speed of 2647 fps. Best group 1”

3. Hornady Superformance 139g Avg. speed of 2884 fps. Best group 0.48”

I think I see a winner in the Superformance, although any of the 3 will hit a deer.

The Superformance shoots about 1.5” higher than the other two and .4” to the right.

I hope this info can help someone!

I recently re watched this episode. i think it did pretty good job and cannot think of another sitcom that addressed such an issue.

I went through a similar deal last season with my 15 year old during youth season, where he got to the deer and it was still alive.

It tore him up having to finish the job up close.

Afterwards, I gave him the job of setting down the blind and packing up to distract while I dealt with deer.

While we were deboning it the next day, he was more determined than ever to get every last bit of meat.

He really understood in that moment the sacrifice, and was not going to forget it.
