Where I live, running deer after the shot often means lost deer. So, the 130g Speer BT with a load of 42g of IMR 4895 with a Rem 9 1/2 puts them on the ground real fast. Lots of converts on this load around here.
My little 13 yr old nephew was in the box stand with me, and with his Rem 700 that I fixed up for him, two does walked out at 300 and 325. He shot the 300 yd one first, then the 325, one dropped on the spot, the other ran 20 feed!!! The boy can shoot!
