    In my 3006 I used the 125 sierra and 130 Speer HP on goats. They were dynamite! I had been using 165gr sierras but they didn't drop them on the spot. The 125 and 130gr on broadside shoulder shots dumped them down. Damage was impressive. They were no good on texas heart shots, they failed to reach the chest. The 165gr would completly penetrate on a texas heart shot.
    On wallabies the 125 or 130gr would be awesome. On fallow meat loss would be high.
