[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 819120, member: 10178"] Your plan sounds good to me. But I am curious which 125 gr bullet did she use to shoot that buck? It has been my experience that the 125 Ballistic Tip is a little tougher bullet than the Sierra 125. I shoot the 125 Ballistic Tip anywhere between 2670 fps in my 14" Contender pistol in 30-30AI all the way up to 3000 fps in my 308 Win. In the Contender I have shot 7 deer with it and all have been between 25 and 125 yards and bullet has entered a shoulder and usually exits the other shoulder tough some have come out the ribs on the off side. They all have exited with about a quarter size hole. Only one took 3 jumps and was down and the others were DRT. In my 30X47 HBR at 2850 fps and my 308 Win at 3000 fps they usually don't exit inside 100 yards but usually I find just the jacket fully expanded under the hide of the off side shoulder. Beyond 100 yards they start to exit on broad side shots. [/QUOTE]
