I need to know the recommended working velocity range for the 30 Cal 125gr BT.
I am currently loading it in 30 Herrett, ten inch T/C, shoots like a dream and anticipate it will be a great deer load.
Using Fed210 primer, and 23.5 gr of H4227. I have not fired it across a chronagraph, but estimate it should be around 2000 to 2100 FPS.
 
Thanks very much, I am also looking to build reduced 30-06 loads for my 12 year old son and the 125 BT is one I would like to consider using. Sounds like it won't be a problem based on the working velsocity range of the bullet.

As already stated, the Impact velocity range for the BT is 3000-1600 fps.
The 30 cal 125 gr BT would be great in the 30 Herrett as well as reduced youth loads in a 30-06.

Let us know how they shoot and perform on deer for you.
