[QUOTE="Hand Skills, post: 1778212, member: 103303"] Yes, a 1:10 will stabilize 208/210/215's, but what exactly are you trying to achieve? High BC doesn't offer any advantages at <200yd. A long bullet seated at mag length is going to have a LONG jump - vld type bullets are not generally tolerant of that... Based on what I've seen, soft, frangible, round nose, lead tipped bullets are best suited to what you are trying to achieve. Deer don't offer a lot of target resistance, but a round nose bullet with a thin jacket will expand rapidly and jelly the lungs of a even a small deer at impact velocities under 2000fps. Something like a 220gr Hornady interlock might be a good candidate, [/QUOTE]
