[QUOTE="GRAMPS, post: 1384760, member: 2011"] I prefer to use heavier bullets at close range and try to do maximum damage with the heavier bullet. I hunt in thickets and most of my shots are at archery ranges. I would not even use a scope on my MZ except for the fact that I have poor eyesight. I used to love the Great Plains Bullet, but I now hunt with an inline that will not shoot the bullets worth a crap. I tried the lighter 240 grain XTPs, but kept losing wounded deer. I now hunt with 300 grain shockwaves. After reading Deer Assasin's report on the Hornady FPB's, I have started shooting them and plan to hunt with them this fall. I have read a lot of stories on here about the longer shots with a MZ, but I do not hunt fields and have no reason to even consider shooting at longer ranges. The longest shot I have ever taken with my MZ was 50 yards, but most of my deer are killed at 10-20 yards. [/QUOTE]
