[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 675286, member: 2736"] For deer sized game I found the 120 grain Ballistic tip to be the best. I tried all of the other bullet weights and designs and they all shot well but the deer allways ran 10 to 40 yards after a perfict hit. With the 120s they hit the ground where they stand. I had trouble at first believing it but after many DRT kills I was convinced that it had something to do with energy transfer, velocity and bullet design combination. The most accurate load I have with it is 41.5 gr of H414 @ 3010 ft/sec. .053 5 shot group. The fastest accurate load is 45.4 grs Varget @ 3150 ft/sec .077 5 shot group (100 yards). The 140s that I tried in a 1 in 10 twist just never got the accuracy of the 120s. I went to a 1 in 9 twist and the 140s were more accurate but still did not perform like the 120s on deer. Also on 168+grain bullets the 1 in 9 or 1 in 8.5 were nessary for accuracy shots over 600 yards. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
