I was able to shoot a deer, about a 110 lb doe, with the 150 grain Norma Whitetails and they worked great. It was a 95 yard shot, quartering to me slightly. Bullet entered the point of the shoulder and exited about half way back the opposite side rib cage. Deer went 30 yards and was done. Absolutely devastating damage internally. I wouldn’t take this ammo to shoot elk or PG in Africa but for my local whitetail population they look to be just about perfect and for the price I can do lots of practice with this ammo as well. For lighter skinned, deer sized animals, I think I have found my factory load. Appreciate the input fellow AHers.

Sir, I think I have been writing to you about the purchase of the HK 639 rifle under an email "Tt Jake." If this is you, then I am truly interested. I am just trying to verify identify. Tt Jake is asking for a cash transaction. No disrespect intended, Just trying to verify who I am talking to. Thank you. Respectfully. Dan

Hey my friend, I am returning to SA for a Cape Buffalo hunt in June 26. My outfitter has suggested Highveld but I have read some poor reports. Wondering how satisfied you were with your mounts from them? Thanks in advance.
