Anyone ever killed a deer with one of these? I can get them down the GM barrel without a short starter, seem accurate at the 50, and can buy them off-the-shelf locally. Wonder if they hold together.

RE: Harvester Scorpion
yeoman I have wondered the same thing. I have read about people shooting deer with them and the bullet works fine. I never have used them for hunting.
I also shot them in a couple of my rifles, and like you I also got good accuracy. My notes indicate I was shooting them with 100 grains of Goex 2f. The other notation is swab between shots, excellent loading, very good accuracy.

RE: Harvester Scorpion
Cayugad - that's encouraging information, thanks. Do your records indicate you tried them at 100 yds? Recent discussions about easy loading rounds showing performance problems farther down range have me wondering. Nothing like a range test to find out.
