    I have great faith in Speer projectiles as they are generally soft and expand readily. The nbt was obvious choice but a duel load might be better. 87 GRN Hornady has or had big following with fallow,sika hunters. @257weatherby or @deer243 hopefully will chime in. Pretty sure Mr Songhurst had good run with 80 GRN Barnes.... They would be good option on big stuff up close perhaps.
