With a 2 3/8oz load, I bet you only shot that thing once. Yikes!!! At 20 yrds. your going to have to send him down the road before shooting. You will literally being throwing a baseball at him at most.

WOW!  I was thinking the same thing!  But I was thinking the size of a silver dollar.  "Better draw down on him Alvin, if you want to WIN the whole beef critter."  Sergeant York.

in the lead days that was true....but ive noticed with just about any tss load ive shot that even though the super hot core may be like a baseball at 20 but...its still got about a 12" spread thats plenty dense enough ....but yeah its tight for sure.
