[QUOTE="joekidd, post: 1577625, member: 8495"] At 200 yards or less anything that shoots good will work on whitetails. I have an "06 imp which I built 25 years ago with a Shilen barrel with 1: 14 twist just for 165-168 bullets. I use Nosler ballistic tips, hornaday 165 sp and Berger 168 hunting. The rifle is a tack driver, always was. I think it may be more of a personal preference, but I wouldn't waste money on high dollar lead for under 200 yards unless you're hunting something dangerous. The deer won't know the difference as long as what your are shooting is accurate and you can put the bullet in the right place. Plus at the range you are shooting, you can load mild loads and save on powder. Try loading 2600fps not 2800+ fps. You may be surprised. [/QUOTE]
