Dave,
One of the three was with a 5.6x50R w/60gr partition, another was with 7.62x39 w/123gr win. bullet(close to your rifles caliber). The other was with a full caliber drilling, 8x57IRS w/196gr Norma bullet.

Ted,
Venison cubed steak fried lightly, then smothered in gravy with onion, bell pepper, celery, and a can of diced tomatoes(salt/pepper/bullion cubes/vinegar/etc) then covered and baked one hour at 295-300 deg., is very good and tender enough to eat w/o teeth. Even my mother-in-law likes it. Also venison chili is very good.
