RE: 125 gr. 30.06
i loaded up some 125gr ballistic tips onetime in hopes of lighter recoil in an '06 before i bought my wife her 243.......accuracy was terrible - now that could just be my paticular rifle and that combo - but this rifle typically shoots everything at the very least pretty well - so i abandoned the project....besides i think those ballistic tips have to thin a jacket in the 125 grn 30 caliber stuff....would probably work if she had shot a deer with it but i wouldnt have let her take a iffy shot with those bullets
