In the States, there seems to be a need for higher velocities, no matter what the calibre. This is why the big cased ctg. sell. Are they needed - no.
; For me, there is little reason for not using a 250gr. at about 2,250fps to 2,300fps. for most all shooting. The lighter bullets of course, are better suited for deer, but the 250 does a good job on them too. Accuracy is a must, but then, it seems to be a current trend that MORE power will make up for poor hits. It doesn't work that way except on small animals. In some areas, deer clasify in that category.
; The 225gr. Sierra SPBT should shine for more open country while the velocity won't be too hard on it's integrity.
; What we don't have in the 250gr. Interlock, is a soft enough nose with heavy enough shank to expand easily on light game, while penetrating deeply on heavier. It's a bit tough all over for these speeds, but does work well on heavier game.
; If one looked at all rounds based on whether or not they were needed for moderate to heavy game, we wouldn't have more than a .45/70 and an '06 to choose from.
