[QUOTE="razakain, post: 1018146, member: 72280"] I am shooting a T/C Icon in .308. On whitetail, either bullet will work. I worked up some 125 grain Nosler BT loads this year and took a doe with it. She was at 40 yards and the bullet was still around 3000fps at impact, so expansion wasn't explosive but it did the job. She ran about 90 yards and went down. Wind drift for longer shots is my only concern with the 125 but I have some 150 and 165 grain loads for windy days and longer shots. Out to 300 yards, any game bullet you select should be fine for whitetail, so go with what's most accurate in your rifle. For me, the 125 grain and some 165 Sierra Game Kings have given me the best accuracy. [/QUOTE]
