Gibson's and Ginger ready for when the guns are done there work.

We'll see.....the jury is still out. This is my first year using them and I havent found a bullet thats as fast and flat out straight as this one. BUT, both deer I dropped had huge exit wounds but I couldnt find a drop of blood. The same has also been said by several others. I still have 3 boxes though and Ima shoot every one of em......

As for the Gibsons......I went to put my rifle in the backseat of my pa-in-law's Kubota and the was no gun rack. Just a piece of Trex board with big holes cut in it. I said "what the hell is this and wheres the rack?" He said, "We upgraded to a bar unit, lift the curtain under the board."........You guessed it, a full bar in the back of the Kubota. I started crackin up.....We sat in the back and drank throughout the sun goin down on the top of a ridge with the rifles hangin out the window. We had a blast!!!

He's a member of my club down here now and Ive been tryin to convince him that we are missing something I just cant quite place what it is

That will do it every time calibre size is one thing but you have to be able to shot it first seems you got that part down pat as well. What does a deer down there dress out to weight wise. Some of the real big whitetails go 300Lbs a big mule deer can go over 350. I killed a big bull moose that went 225 a quarter (ugly) very tough eating.

Nah yall got us licked on that for sure!!! I live on the coast and the coastal deer here are small. A nice buck will dress 125 or so maybe a touch more. Once you get inland to the hills of GA then youll start seein closer to the 200's but its nothin like whats north of us. Also alot more pressure on em down here vs the land of long pants......
