<bjk>30/30 Sierra 125gr HPFN's for deer
Hello all
I know the 150's and 170's are the norm, but does anyone have any info on the capabilities of the 125's for deer sized game (125lb-175lb)? Any info would be appreicated.
Thanks
Brian

<Jacobsdad>I,ve had great success with Sierras 125 JHP over 31.5 grains of 3031 in my Contender. Longest shot was 75 yards, closest was about 15 yards. All one shot kills. I have passed up any shots over 75 yards due to my personal limitations. However, hunting in Pennsylvania, that's generally not a problem.
