[QUOTE="Capt RB, post: 1507734, member: 85987"] I run 165 ballistic tips in an 18" 06 at about 2650. Your suppressor should put your velocity at about 2500 maybe 2550fps. Any of the bullets designed for the 30/30 will get it done. Also 125grn class of bullets would be well suited. The accubond due to the bonding would be a first choice for lead and the gmx barnes or hammers for green bullets. The hammers will be a fast load work up. I'd try the meplat trimming on some coyotes to make sure I was getting the expansion at your velocity handicap before I'd continue with deer sized game. [/QUOTE]
