[QUOTE="Retired Educator, post: 171142, member: 3373"] Haven't done a lot of experimenting because I have had really good results with the very common 56.5gr of H4831SC and 130 gr. bullets. Have shot a lot of 130 Nosler Ballistic Tip as well as Accubonds. They do fine on deer size game, a little thin skinned for anything bigger I think. Have also shot elk with the 130gr Barnes TTSX with excellent results. I'm shooting out of a 24 inch barrel. Would love to have more deer so I could still get 4 or 5 licenses as I would really like to try the Barnes 110g TTSX on deer. You really don't learn the penetration and how a bullet reacts on animals without shooting a few. I do try and reload for accuracy first and velocity isn't very important for me if the bullet doesn't fly straight. Good luck, it will be interesting to read all the other comments. I can always learn more. I did try reloading with a hotter load of 4831 and couldn't keep very good groups as did lighter loads. [/QUOTE]
