    who makes a 75gr .257 projectile for small game.

    Hi Guys

    I am wondering if any one knows of a 25 cal 75gr projectile for shooting med game. Goats, Fallow deer and small pigs.
    I have been using 75gr v-max but they do tend to blow up and do a bit too much damage. Neck shots leave a 4-6" hole and a lung shot minces the insides and doesn't exit. But I am worried a shoulder shot won't penetrate. Is there a 75gr bullet that is not a varmint round and will hold together a bit better.
    Shot from my 303-25 3200fps.

    cheers LR
