My question is, why would you use the lousy bc 100-grain bullets for deer, instead of using the bullets that really make it shine-the 117-120-grain weights? Far less blood-shot meat with the heavier bullets and no question about penetration.
Just my thoughts, anyway. I load for a buddy's and I put 120s in it at just over 2900fps and it does real well.
The BC on the 100gr Nosler E-Tip is listed at .409, which is not far off from most 117-120gr offerings. And it can make 3,300fps+ in most 25-06 rifles. It offers a nice blend of BC, speed, and projectile integrity. Not much bloodshot either, in my experience, although I will admit it is not the most awesome performer for a lung-shooter. Can't have it all....
