I thought anything under 95 Grain was not good for deer.

Some people would like to believe that but have never shot anything under 95 or 100 grains.

I have shot em with 70 grain bullets on up to 100. Have yet to lose a deer although with the light bullets a shot through the ribs behind the shoulder is a must.

I am currently using a 95 grain Partition in my 6mm but would have mo issues going back to an 80 or 85 grain SP on our midwestern deer.

100 grain bullets may be best if you cannot pick your shots carefully or for extra insurance with youngsters.
