Probably go with a Parker or a home lathed with a lightly hollow base and run through a drop sizer design I have in my head. But for my normal ranges on Whitetail and Elk, rarely over 150 yards, like Sabot I want the most felt impact and internal damage as can be delivered for a quick drop of the animal. So far, Lehighs/Bloodlines have shown me exactly what I want to see in terminal performance and at my medium ranges they perform exactly how I need them to as far as accuracy. They shoot great from both mine and my Daughters TC's. I think I'm going to go a bit heavier than the 220's and go with these 265gr controlled fracturing:
I had more people testing the 265grn Lehigh over any other bullet by far. And it proved to be a very good bullet. I think it's over kill for Deer but that's a matter of preference. As far as the 220 for me it's .458, which is good for the Knight 52 but not me. But it does shoot good in my NULA, but I'm working on a change for that gun and it will benefit your daughter to.
