90 Skinner is too explosive for my tastes.
One into the chest of a WT doe at around 3,400 fps blew up, making soup out of the heart and lungs, even blew up the diaphragm and got into the stomach. There were a few grain of corn in the "soup".
No fun cleaning that one, although it was DRT.
The 100 gr. NPT seems about ideal for this 10 twist gun, bullet at around 3,250 or so. Plenty of internal damage, good exit. DRT.
Now, with a 9 twist or an 8.5 twist, I think the 105 Scenar would probably perform well. It groups 3"-4" at a hundred with 10 twist. It should be a bit less friable than the 90 gr. version, will be moving at a slower speed.
My next .240 will be an 8.5 or 9 twist 6mm-06.

Hint.................. I head shoot meat deer when I get the chance. I'm a bit apprehensive if they're out a ways, as I've seen cases where the deer moved just as the shot broke. I've never done that but have seen deer with a broken jaw, messed up by a less than well placed head shot. Starving to death because they can't eat is a sorry way for a fine game animal to die. If they're any distance away, chest shooting is my preference, thus my quest for the perfect load to do the job. DF
