My buck of a lifetime - so far - was a 154" gross score 10 pointer taken at about 35 yards using 120 gr Nosler BT at about 3120 fps from a 284 win model 70. My wife shoots the 120 gr TTSX at about 3180 fps or so out of her Rem 700 7-08ai, and she has taken a couple of 130 class wall hangers over the last 3 seasons, one at 45 yds, one at 194 yds. I wouldn't hesitate to use either load on any deer in NA.
