that 120 grains will definitely do the job !!! the deer will never know what hit him , and you will not have to do much tracking for sure !!!

It’s slightly shorter lengthwise to a 30 06 ....with a 25 caliber bullet ....was very common back when out west and around texas as well ....
Will flat smoke a deer or antelope right quickly

Sorry about the news of your friend. But he must really think highly of you. May his memory forever be with you.

Nice caliber,core locks have killed much game though I'm not a huge fan of them.Go ahead and shoot them on the range and in the field,but may I suggest doing some research on different loads and bullets,I betcha you will be able to make it an even better deer gun.

Fantastic caliber and fantastic rifle. Try the corelockts and see how they do, that caliber/rifle combination should easily be less than MOA. My brother in law uses that exact set with Leupold VX!!! 4X12 and it shoots amazing. Deer do not like it, puts them to sleep real quick.

That as very kind of your friend. I think I would say with the 120gs the lighter loads want punch through the shoulder on larger buck. It's is a great round but not as much punch as a 270 or 30/06.

That 120gs will fold a large buck like a dish rag !!! he never know what hit him !!!!

I agree. I wouldn't go any lighter than 120g I would rather have and exit just incase.
