Our 'managed recoil load' for the '06 load a 125 grain Sierra SP over enough H4895 to give it 2750 fps. Not objectionable at all to shoot and last year, I watched one drop a fat doe like a stone at 150 yards.
If I wanted a varmint load, I'd goose the 125 grain Nosler BT to about 3400 and call it good. I have always just shot coyotes and groundhogs with my regular hunting load (150 at 2900) and just like the deer, they never complain. Apparently critters don't read long-winded Innernet arguments about what constitutes 'too much gun' LOL
