I’ve used the Sierra 225 on deer only, in the 35 Whelen and 350 Rem mag at 2550-2600 fps. I’ve also used the discontinued 225 Ballistic Tip and 225 Accubond in the Whelen at 2700 fps. If you find Hornady 200 grain spitzer, don’t be afraid to use them …they work great. They’re not very streamlined but they are good “stompers” in both cartridges at 2600 fps.
