Default RE: hornady 200 grain xtp

ORIGINAL: jlbeebe

Any of you guys shoot these bullets? How is accuracy and performance on deer size game? We are in the middle of the youth season here in Iowa and my boy just broke his arm in a football game. The break is right below the sholder socket so I would like to lighten up the recoil as much as possible. Right now he shoots 70 grains of 777 and a beartooth 360 grain bullet. I thought dropping back to a 200 grain bullet would help if we can maintain accuracy and performance.
Best to switch shoulders this year and not risk injury to a young man for 1 season, even if he loves it and I am sure he does. Also buy a double man stand with a shooting rest, www.sportmansguide.com has one for $89 that holds 500 lobs. Best Wishes to him. Chap Gleason
