Use Speer Hot-cores. They are the shortest 100gr or 87gr deer bullets that will stabilize in a 1-14" twist.Too bad Nosler partions didn't come in 87gr.I've killed many deer with my EG /99 and both of the above Speer bullets.I like IMR 3031 best with IMR 4895 a little faster but not quite as accurate.32.5gr of IMR 3031/87gr .30-31gr of IMR 3031/100gr.And lastly 34.5gr of IMR 4895/87gr all shoot MOA at 100 yards from my 99..........Good luck Great Caliber I picked up a 700 Classic in .250-3000.and it prefers Win 760 ............Harold PS:the mulie buck to the left died of the latter
