[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 1899341, member: 10178"] I personally have no use for a 300 BO. I have killed plenty of deer with pistols and have learned some lessons. 357 mag revolvers with old school type hollow points 140 to 158 gr should not be stretched much over 50 yards in my experience. A 200 gr 45 cal. cast SWC running 1000 fps from a 45 ACP 50 yards and under does OK. Both through the chest act like a arrow shot deer. If you stretch the yardage you loose too much velocity and usually don't get an exit and blood trails are about non existent. What I am getting at is with what ever platform you choose to use you have to know it's limitation and YOUR limitation and not exceed that or bad things happen. As to the 125 Nosler BT it is a GREAT bullet if you keep the impact velocity up to around 1800 fps. I use it in all my 30 cal weapons for deer. Keep the impact velocity under 3000 fps and above 1800 fps and it is a deer killer. Usually below 2800 fps it will go through both shoulders of a deer with exit. I have shot at least 25 deer with my 14" barrel 30-30AI T/C Contender pistol from almost point blank to 150 yards or so and have never recovered a bullet. Muzzle velocity is 2670 FPS. I mostly shoot through the shoulders and I have never had a deer go over about 5 yards with 99% dropping in their tracks. For me If I knew that I might have a shot out to 150 yards I sure would be using something that I had complete confidence in that would do the job with no questions in my hands. [/QUOTE]
