In the '90s I hunted with my Mini 30 a couple years. There wasn't much soft point ammo available then. I loaded the Hornady 130gr Single Shot Pistol bullet. I took one buck with it, hit him twice, once broadside a bit far back and the second quartering away at the rear of the onside rib cage. Both were pass-throughs and did a good job wrecking his plumbing. I sold the gun to my nephew and loaded him 50 rounds with the 125 gr Barnes XBTs. He's taken 2 deer with it and both were bang-flops.
