Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles 225 Winchester whitetail bullet

I've owned a M70 chambered in 225 WIN for years; only shot it with the W-W factory 55 grain PSP load and my handload using the Hornady 50 grain V-Max - both sub MOA loads. I have decided to give it a try on neck shooting small whitetail does, probably out to 100-150 yards. I don't think the jackets in the two varmint bullets will hold up reliably so I was looking at the 55 grain GMX and TSX bullets. However I'm not sure that the solid copper bullets longer bearing surface will work with the 1 in 14 twist. Anyone tried this or have another idea? This could just be a bad idea.
