Fremmer, .25-06, with blue box Federal Power Shok 117s.....rifle is Howa 1500 22", with Boyd's JRS Classic stock. The rounds drilled right through (and into the tree behind the doe), so I actually should choose a bullet with a tad more expansion and less penetration for neck shots - maybe a 90-100 grainer. Still, both dropped instantly. They kicked longer than I like to see however.

I have a lot more counterpoint on this subject which I will post later this weekend or next week...
