Thanx all;
Still sounds like the RL7 may be the way to go. Haven't shot the rifle for a number of years, it has been on loan to my mom. Her .20 guage got to kickin' her pretty bad, I loaned her the fireball 'til I could shorten the stock on the 20...long story-short...she LIKED the fireball. It has stood guard faithfully, over her garden now for several years. Gunpowder is a better deterrant than rotten eggs, dog hair, perfume, or anything else we have found for deer. (Pop one behind the ear and his little generator light comes on). All applicable deer damage permits are in order. Groundhogs tend to go all limber too! Anyway, the big garden has become too much for mom, she now only tends a smaller one at the end of the yard, says a switch will do. Cayotes have been introduced as a deer control measure (I believe this), they are getting out of hand, thought the .55gr bullets might be better anyway. Especially with the 1 in 9 twist. Will be going to the range when weather permits, plan to start with the RL7.
Thanx again...ears
