Mike -

Have you tried the SP on deer or just the HP? I couldn't find any data on recommended speed for proper expansion on the Speer site. Would most of the 30-30 soft points have been 180 grain bullets at higher velocities? I really don't want to "experiment" on the deer. I did see where "rdpettit" in a recent post had good results shooting 120 777 but that's much hotter than my charge of 90 RS.
