[quote=AussieGunWriter]A bullet that gets lost in the latest and greatest shuffle is the 87gn Hornady.
It was Roy E Weatherby's favorite and I used it on Fallow, goats and pigs in a .257 Weatherby and it did work very well.
Also tried it in my .25/06 and would definitely consider it for White Tail sized game.
I spoke with a guy whose entire family and friends ( about a dozen in all) all used the 25-06 and that Hornady 87grsp for South Texas whitetail. On the Hill country deer, he said they sometimes got almost "end to end" penetration! I've only used the 115NP and the 100 TSX out of the .257W myself, and had no issues. thanks for "testing" out that 80gr TTSx, I would have "chosen it" if it had been available since it is the fastest. I would love to go on a cull hunt IF I didn't have to do the gutting/butchering! ha. The Wild Game cullers I saw in Leakey, Tx, all used the 22-250, head shots only and had a big cheek full of Red Man chewing tobacco!
