One of my favorite stands is on a power-pipe line. The silvertip 130 grain short mag works great. My shots are usually 100 to 350 yards, but even at closer ranges, 150 or less, I have no trouble putting a big hole in the deer. I don't take head shots, but I will take a neck shot if close enough. I shot one a couple of years ago with the silvertip at 75 yards in the neck. It almost took the head completely off. They will do the job just fine at closer ranges.
