Totally forgot that I had these. 4 boxes total. Should drop a Mule Deer fairly quickly...

| I shot a huge moose with the old Dominion 215 grain bullet out of a jungle carbine, yours should work just as well for deer. |

| I watched as my dad dropped an elk with one. I was sincerely amazed and surprised at how quickly that beastie hit the ground. |

| I also found an old box of Winchester Super-Speed 215grn RN bullets. It still has the original Montgomery Wards $7.99 price tag on it... |

| Hoadie... I believe I've read Ontario moose aren't quite as stout as northern prairie moose. Much to "woke" and entitled! |

| I almost bought a couple of boxes of 215 gr Woodleigh RN last year but stumbled upon some Hornady 174 gr RN. they group nice at 100 yards and I ended taking a nice doe with that pill! Results were someone underwhelming though. It was a double lung shot (through and through) at about 75 yards and she went about 50 yards before falling. I guess I expected heavy, slow RN bullet "knock down" results. |

FMJ head shots every time, no fuss no muss, and no meat damage. All close range tree stand shots of course with good support.

| That would do it for sure! To be honest, I've never ever aimed at the head of a whitetail, no matter how close it was. Always lung/heart... bigger target for my shooting skills! |
