My friend's daughter uses 70 grains of JSG and a 240 grain XTP. She's taken several deer with that load and it has performed nicely. Now JSG isn't as hot as T7, with T7 or BH 209 I'm guessing that 60 grains would equal to or exceed 70 grains of JSG.

I wouldn't go lower than 60 grains though, and keep the shots close.

Thanks for all the input! i am using a shockwave and might try running that 70-80 gr range for the kid. Sounds like that should to the job.

thanks again.

I shoot a 295 gr powerbelt with 100 gr of tripple seven pellets. The recoil is very low and i have no problems tracking deer.

thanks.

I agree that starting with around 70 grains is a good starting point for a 250 gr bullet.

Wishing everyone here a splendid, upcoming Holiday season. Here's hoping Santa is good to everyone and the New Year brings happiness and prosperity. :happy0001:
