What are you wanting these loads to do for you? Are you thinking the 100-110's at 1,000fps will have an advantage in terminal performance over 125's and 158's? Or, are you simply looking for a lower recoiling load?

If you're looking to reduce recoil, then the lighter pills will work. Be sure you have realistic expectations for performance, and be sure you consider the trade off you're making.

If you're looking for enhanced performance, look heavier. The greater momentum, penetration, and expansion on the bigger pills - even running slower - is impossible to deny.

Don't be too easily dissuaded - good enough is good enough - but don't be too hurried to pick one without considering reality - better is better.
