125 BT and 30-30

[Paul Barnard]

I am interested in using the 125 Ballistic Tip in a 30-30 (non-tubular mag). At what velocity range will the 125 BT reliably penetrate and expand in deer sized game.

Does anybody have any load data or have any first hand hunting experience using this bullet?What kind of muzzle velocity might I expect out of a 20" barrel?

Thanks
Paul

1600-1700 fps.


That is the min for reliable expansion and penetration.

I don't have first hand experience with that bullet in a 30-30. Tomorrow I will bring on another tech rep to help answer questions. He might have more insight.

His user name will be NOSLER1

Hopefully we can get to everyones questions quicker
