[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 1966803, member: 10178"] For the 30-06 in pistols I have been looking at my loading manuals that give data for 14 to 15" barrel pistols. There is not much difference in top velocity between slower powders like 4895 up through 4350. In my experience with 30 cal. rifles and pistols for white tail deer it is hard to beat the 125 gr Nosler BT as long as you keep the impact velocity under 3000 fps. That makes it fall right into it's wheel house out of a 30-06 pistol. Manuals show between 2800ish to 2900ish fps with most powders. I have killed well over 50 deer with this bullet in various firearms and it is a killer. At about 2750 fps impact velocity it will usually penetrate through both shoulders and exit out of the average deer. Out of my 15" barrel Contender 30-30AI it does 2670 fps average and I have never recovered a bullet because they all have exited and I have killed somewhere between 25 and 30 deer with it out to a touch over 200 yards. With 165 gr bullets the manuals say you can get between 2500 and 2600 fps with most any powder between 4895 and 4350 burn rate. Good luck and have fun. [/QUOTE]
