    130 speer hp...nicknamed handgrenades for good reason
    125grn ballistic tips also very naasty when hit something
    both great lower recoil loads and both can be downloaded for youth...both work well at full noise for semi explosive terminal effect and both will work better slowed down a tad,to give more reliable penertration
    for fallow at full noise...head/neck or in the crease would be my pick...shoulder shot would be VERY messy .for anything bigger or even decent sized fallow buck...that shot placement would be only ones I would use unless in open country and sure of quick follow up...but messy sums them up.
    and also seeing where you live....IF you can get them (rocking horse poohs) the 125grn TAIPAN projectiles will decapitate goats at 30/06 speeds....loaded hundy up for mates 06 and he has had a ball using them...load wasnt full noise,somewhere about 60% between start and maximum....win 760 if memory serves me right.
