Defo stick with the 100 grainer. Faster the better. Assuming about 2700 mv then that'll keep impact velocity up above 2000fps out to about 250m.

Gonna have less shock and a smaller wound channel than the 7mm's and 30cals driven out of an 08 case obviously. Don't see any reason they won't kill well with a good shoulder shot though.

Have used Barnes for 20 odd years in 223,243 and 270, found they aiways did the job if you did yours, will get a sample pack at 100 gr
