Glad to see you got that beast under control.

You shouldn't have any problem putting some venison in the freezer.

You are plenty welcome.

Which powder and bullet combination did you use with that charge weight?

i used remington 300 grain hollow point over 60 grains of h335 powder. chart calls for minnimum charge of 62 grains but i dropped it another 2,and ended up with these results

Kinda proves the old line in almost every reloading manual: "Best accuracy is usually obtained at less than maximum listed loads", doesn't it?
