Hi all,
New member here. I am working on a plan to hunt whitetails with family on a relative's farm this upcoming fall. It's in the slug only zone of south western MN. However, they do allow pistols to be used during this season and there are not caliber restrictions (at least that I can find). I have a CVA Scout V2 pistol in 6.5CM. It has a 14" barrel. I have not confirmed the twist rate yet, but assume it to be 1:8. I'm new to Hammer bullets and am looking for advice on bullet and powder suggestions given the very short barrel. I assume I should be leaning towards the lighter weight bullets to get the velocity up and use faster burning powders as well. However all our shots are less than 100 yards on the farm. I am not concerned about BC, SD or ES at these ranges, just accuracy and whatever makes sense for terminal performance given these parameters.
Thanks for your help/advice!
