kellory,

a PBCB .30-06 load at about .32-40WCF speed (1300-1400 FPS) does a FINE job on small to medium game AND that's excellent practice for big game hunting.

.30 caliber hole for a "pass through" on the small/medium size critters, little edible meat "blood-shot" & the pelt is not ruined either.

just my OPINION, tex
