I shot one doe several years back when sneaky one and myself were ?testing? several bullet weights and brands. Doe facing me, shot in chest and bullet exited rear. I?m guessing 30?+ penetration. I think the lightest I shot was a 76 grain gmx. Those pills are a little harder, but a mono in the 85grain range at grendel velocities would probably be ideal for 150 yds and in. I?d go with the 100 grain if wanting longer ranges than that. Wish I still had time to do some of these tests.
OTOH, I?ve had recent success with the 107 TMK on deer and hogs. These were precisely placed shots for penetration testing and all were successful in taking the intended animal with the longest run being 80 yds. But for reliable expansion/penetration, go with the 100 TTSX or some of the maker bullets.
I will look at the 100 grain TTSX , just did not think I could get enough fps out of my 12.5 , what is min expansion fps , thank for input
