hey, I have a public land deer draw hunt coming up in a couple weeks. Indiana laws are dumb so I won't go into that, other than say I can use a rifle if it's a pistol caliber (.357,.44 etc) but not rifle calibers..... UNLESS it's fired from a "handgun". Anyway, I have a 6.5 Grendel "handgun" and I have 3 bullet options. What would u pick? Deer will weigh 120-220lbs, shots will be out to 300 yards.
Bullets are:
100 gr partition, BC .384 @2500
130 Berger VLD HUNTING BC .552 @2250
90 Vmax BC .365 @2600 ish ( can't remember exactly)
All shoot equally well and this is out of a 15.5" barrel. Altitude is only 900ish' temps should be around 30-40degrees.
I know all 3 will kill a deer easily, they will all hit about the same speed, within 65 FPS in the perfect world, ~1800fps. The vmax is interesting to me though. I know at regular rifle velocity 2800+ they're explosive as designed, but running slower at extended range, what do they do?
