I’ve seen several hundred deer dumped with a 270 and 130 grain Speer, Hornady, and Sierra bullets. All plain Jane flat base spritzers ahead of a max book charge of IMR 4350 or 4831. All shoulder shots and all fell right there or within on leap. I never really cared about a shoulder roast that much and it usually got ground into burger anyway. I’d say a 130 partition should be fine and don’t worry about the shoulder meat.


Keep your powder dry and stay frosty my friends.
