    I like 110g just to throw a bone out, used them 20+ years big or small good out to 300yards and have pushed them away past that on goats.
    Most hunting is under 200 and the old, if you can't make the shot don't take the shot.
    Hunting isn't shooting it's the hunt, the stalking, tracking, yay out there doing it, hills, blood sweat tears,wind, snow and rain.
    At the end of that if you can hit it, then the work begins.
    Injoy your hunting as the seasons change and the hill become to high, and you get to sit around telling how it was.
    I used 150s for a few years until I found them as wasting to much meat on fellow deer, which was I was working to get.
    I became smarter shot better and took all the meat home.
    What shoots on paper isn't worth making a big deal over as a deer is one big target at even two hundy.
    Advice is good and reasoning is what lacks in it sometime, till you can shoot use the bigger 150g so you at least take some meat home.
    Also a lot of expense is put into going out hunting,so slow yourself down get the best rest you can and take the shot, stay safe and eat well.
