Default RE: what grain are you using on whitetails

Just be careful to match the structure of the bullet and the speed it was designed for to the velocity ypur getting. For instance a 200 gr 50/40 Shock Wave does good at 1700 to 2200 fps while a 245 gr PB does good from 1200 to 1500 fps a 295 gr Sabortooth 1400 to 1800 fps a 250gr Gold Dot is good from 1500 to 1900 a 250 gr Shock Wave is good for 1600 to 1900 the 300 gr XTP, Shock Wave and gold Dot are good from 1800 to what ever you can get. These are approxmate from my experance,but they are the working range I have worked out for my own use.I am sure you get the idea. Lee
