mike, when game was thick in several states I hunted, I shot many head with 63 gr. Sierra, 55 gr. Sierra HPBT, and 55 gr. Horn..
I wasn't trophy hunting and in most cases was only shooting meat.. At that time I only had a probably three or four rifles, an 06, .300 & .22-250... The .22-250 got a lot of use for meat in those years.. Now not so much.. Most of my shots were double lung.. I would pass if the shot looked ify..
Lately I have shot a few does with the 50 grain Sierra Blitzking.. But under the same conditons.
