Oh i havent tried 80gr yet. I was doing an experiment with the base of the bullet which seemed to have increased the velocity as it left my hand tingling, but my accuracy poor.
Im on my last can of BH209 so im saving the 80gr accuracy test for tomorrow if the cold weather allows me to shoot.

slow it down? why not use a bullet that you don't have to worry about with any reasonable powder charge at any acceptable M/L range. IMHO, your thinking backwards lol.. you go ahead and use the Aerolite. it's your $ old timer.. nuff said.

It's just a doe.
Slowing a bullet down to work is not such a bad deal. Better than having to use magnum loads to make it work.

What do they do, put powder inside that bullet to make it explode??? 
Bullets don't explode...The might, mushroom, fragment or do may other things but
they don't explode on impact...
Now, artillery shells, that's another matter...

I hate it when someone uses this term...I had a fellow say this one evening after shooting a doe and make a half hearted effort to retrieve her...I made him go back and show me where she was and which way he thought she went...Well, she went about 250 yards and it took me 2 hours to track her...He was whining like a 12 year old the whole time, couldn't understand why I would spend so much time when it was "Just a doe"...
I haven't invited him back...
Don't be so flippant about taking a doe...It should be done quickly and efficently...

MD, we all know you're free to shoot whatever you please. I guess I just don't understand why after your experiences using the Thors you'd even consider using a PB anymore.
