[QUOTE="Lefty38-55, post: 2947215, member: 95029"] Will [I]not be for long distance [/I]use, but my friend wants to take his Father's WW2 K98k German Mauser back out in the woods some day, where his Father had liberated it from the battle of Pilsen, Czechoslovakia. Locale: Northern New England, for deer to 200+, shots in these woods are < 100-yards due to the terrain - lots of small knolls - and under growth, many places 50-yards shots or less are most common. He had some huge roundnose loads, jacketed with lead exposed tips, on hand, likely 180s but maybe even 200s. I thought they would be too much ... [I]were likely more of a bullet for moose[/I] ... and would punch through a whitetail and not expand. Any recommendations? I recognize this is not long distance, but there's no other forum where I'd trust the opinion of such good hunters. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
