Lighter weight bullets for smaller game

If you want to run a load strictly for PG the 235gr speer is a real hammer. I have killed several whitetail with it and it is leaving my rifle at 2900FPS which does result in a pretty flat trajectory out to 400yds. However if you want to work up one load and be done with it id say roll with a 300gr barnes or swift and it will definitely kill PG up to DG without ever having to worry about switching ammo or buying different components or rework loads, rezero and all that. Those 235 speer are cheap and shoot excellent. PM me if.you want to try some. I have a metric ton of them laying around I'll send you a box. As far as the heavies on PG I killed a very small whitetail with a 500gr woodleigh out of a 460 at about 30yds and the bullet opened fine and there was no tracking involved.

Good Afternoon,
How firm are you on your Dakota 416? I am highly interested but looking at a few different guns currently.

Best,
BJ

I have a Chapuis 450-400 double that looks brand new and shoots well, never been hunted from what I can tell. I am willing to part with it as I have a 375 H&H Sodia on it's way from Dorleac & Dorleac. I am looking for $9,250 for it and if you are interested, I am happy to send you some pictures. Regards,
Steve
