120gr. Nosler BT for deer
I'm trying to work up a mild recoiling load for my nephew (he's 11) to use during the youth season here in MO. I've loaded a few 120's with some BL-C 2 at around 3000 fps. Has anyone used this bullet on deer ? What were your results? I've got various 140's on hand , but since this kid isn't used to shooting HP rifles I thought the 120's would lighten the wallup. He's shot 20 ga. shotguns quite a bit , but the recoil there is more of a push than a pop.Your opinions , please.
