I used to do a lot of Bowling pin shooting
Back in the 80's and early 90's

I still shoot pins when I feel like it

My 2 cents
If it feeds , it will work with a decent load
For Whitetail Deer I like a large Meplat and a modest velocity regardless of caliber

A big reason I use the older Federal 2 3/4" hulls with the rolled fiber base is 2 fold

I have a 9 1/2" Ruger SRH in 454 Casull
I normally use the LEE C452-300-RF cast out of WW with a gas check

And enough...
I was wondering if anyone uses their GSC-12 wads ?
