[QUOTE="Tiny, post: 2158900, member: 18962"] Good advice above. I have no doubt the Trial Boss would be shootable turns a center fire into a 22LR and real good fun. But don't think it would be usable to deer hunt with UNLESS under 50 and with carefull shot placement.However that is subjeect to change. A lead cast would be a better bullet choice with it and MAYBE one of the 30 Cal Varmit bullets.Based on some testing I did with it,haven't done any with the varmit class bullets nor those for the 30/30 velocities,I question if one would get reliable enough expansion and peneration with it,you need both. ;) I also think I would opt for either the BT or SST if useing it but I haven't tested them either.I did test some 8x57mm Hornday 150gr spt and 130gr cast bullets in a 30/30. At 25 yards the 30/30 would work for me but not the 8x57 got more than enough peneration but very little expansion.I believe one of the tipped would fare better and have shoot the SST in 30/06 very accurate but haven't had a chance to do an expansion test as yet. One of the of the 30 Cal deer bullets at around 2500-2700 MLV would be a better choice and still wouldn't have much recoil in an 06,any lower book MLV I would Opt for one of the 30/30 bullets. The Barnes 110 gr are another option. [/QUOTE]
