I just finished loading up a batch of 180 gr Sierra JHCs.
I was wondering if anyone uses these on Whitetail deer.
I have quite a stash of these bullets, and rifle season is right around the corner. I decided to give these a try in my M92. I'll try to make it by the range tomorrow to see how they shoot. I normally use 240s , but I wanted to see if these would be easier on the shoulder. I would think that they would work fine on deer, but I have no experience with them.
