Thank you for your input. As far as altitude goes, IIRC, we're mostly under 2,000 ft. mostly inside 200-300yds, but clearcuts can get pretty wide. Was thinking about those 129ABLRs Mark over at PR sells for Maine deer and wanted to know if the 20" would launch the heavier pill with substantially more velocity, as in enough to make a difference in terminal performance. at those ranges, 50 or so FPS probably doesn't huh? Beside the (factory)Hornady 123SSTs, which seem to get mixed reviews what else is out there that will do the job on big northern whitetails that someone who doesn't reload can buy?
