What load do you suggest for a deer at 130m?
Or for thar at 90m while chukar hunting, which is what got me started down the drilling road.

Being able to slide a selector forward and just hammer an animal with 156 grains of Norma goodness is better than faffing around with slugs or buckshot while the animal is standing there.
