I have sent a lot of 110 grain bullets down range using the Blue Dot load from Rocky's old site in 06 and 308Win. They group on paper at 100yds very well. Some better than any of my bigger loads. Bullets range from 110 carbine RN from Sierra, A Max, Sierra HP and plain old cast lead. Some group better than others obviously. Mouse fart could be used to describe how they recoil compared to the bigger loads. No game experience with them but I can imagine any varmint having a bad day with one. As for 110 in deer I can see no reason why a 250 savage or 257 roberts working with the same weight bullet would be any different than a well constructed 110gr in a 308 at similar speed.
I would like to find some time and stretch the range out on the paper with the 110s. Maybe this summer.

I used to only shoot shotguns and rimfires, then I made the mistake of getting a subscription to handloader.......
